Marketing Management

About the programme

The AP Degree in Marketing Management is a 2-year (120 ECTS) higher education where you will get the skills to plan and implement marketing, sales and communication tasks.

The programme’s four semesters are based on six subject areas, three elective courses, an internship and a final project.

The programme is interdisciplinary with a marketing base. In the programme’s first year you will have compulsory subjects. After this, in the third and fourth semester, you can specialise according to the direction you want your career to take. The specialisation consists of three elective courses, an internship and a final exam. Examples of electives are SEO, SCM & procurement and e-mail marketing.

The Marketing Management programme provides access to a wide range of job opportunities in Denmark or abroad, among other things, as a marketing coordinator, a sales assistant or an information officer.

You can study, join a summer school or take your internship abroad during the programme.

This entire programme is taught in English.

Internship in your 4th semester

In your internship, you will get to test your newly acquired skills in a company and get insight into future work assignments and career opportunities. You will be able to connect your theoretical knowledge with practical experience and at the same time strengthen your CV.

In the internship, you can test a specific field of work and then focus your programme in relation to your career plans. As part of your internship, you must write a project report which is based on a problem statement from the company.

The internship is a mandatory part of your programme, and it is your responsibility to find an internship company. To help, we have a wide range of tools and contacts available, e.g. via our career centre.

Your internship can be taken in a company in Denmark or abroad.
