Introduction
Would you like to expand and deepen your knowledge in the field of Marketing Analytics and Data Science and Management, combined with a minor in Finance? Then this double degree programme is for you!
In Groningen, you will be educated thoroughly on methods that allow them to analyse and model (secondary, big) data to track the marketing performance of the firm and generate new customer insights. The information and insights generated by the Marketing Analytics and Data Science (MADS) profile (formerly known as Marketing Intelligence) are used as a basis for making research-based strategic and tactical marketing decisions.
The second part in Münster is founded on two pillars: value-based marketing and finance. You learn how to design marketing programmes that create value for both customers and the firm and how to measure the financial implications of marketing strategies.
For all students in this programme, a Master's thesis (20 ECTS) is written in Groningen and a research paper (10 ECTS) is written in Münster. You will receive two degrees: an MSc in Marketing with Marketing Analytics and Data Science (MADS) and an MSc in Strategic Marketing Management.
