MSc Strategic Marketing Dual Programmes

Dual Programmes bring together the best in internationally recognised business degrees and professional qualifications. A unique concept devised by London School of Business & Finance, the Dual Programme initiative allows students to follow a postgraduate programme alongside a highly valued professional qualification, developing a powerful skill set and raising their profile with potential employers.

Working closely with our network of corporate and educational partners, we combine the expertise of leading industry experts with our own experience as a leader in business education. As a result, we develop modern, industry-focussed degree programmes that reflect the needs of modern business. Marketing is a constantly evolving arena, and it's essential to stay ahead of the crowd both for existing marketers and for those moving into the field.

Combining your marketing degree with a recognised professional standard like the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) qualification gives you a competitive edge, with a unique record of both academic excellence and tangible workplace skills that will be directly relevant to your career progress.

You can combine your marketing degree with a range of other professional qualifications including ACCA, CIMA and CFA® giving you the opportunity to add a second discipline to your marketing degree. While your marketing degree will give you an up-to-date grasp of modern marketing principles, technologies and techniques, a professional qualification will develop your practical skills, helping you to progress your career to the next level more quickly.

Which Dual Programmes does LSBF offer?

Marketing Master’s + CIM

The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) professional qualification is perfectly matched to your marketing degree. As a Dual Programme, you'll graduate with an internationally recognised marketing degree as well as an industry standard qualification from the world's largest professional marketing association. CIM maintains professional standards, improving the skills of marketing practitioners and enabling them to deliver exceptional results for their organisations.

Marketing Master’s + ACCA

As the global body for professional accounts, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) adds a second, valuable discipline to your Master's degree giving you a broader skill set and raising your profile with a wider range of employers.

LSBF holds Gold status as a provider of the ACCA qualification and combined with your marketing degree it offers a strong combination of business theory and practical financial skills.

Marketing Master’s + CIMA

The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) prides itself on the commercial relevance of its syllabus, which is continually enhanced to reflect the latest business developments. Based on three core pillars of Management Accounting, Business Management and Financial Accounting, the programme adds exceptional business and finance skills to your marketing degree, giving you a well-rounded skill set and a clear advantage in a competitive field.

Marketing Master’s + CFA®

Regarded as the benchmark of quality in the global investment community, the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) qualification is a globally respected qualification that adds value to your marketing degree.

Described by the Economist as 'the gold standard' and by the Financial Times as a 'passport to a career in international finance' CFA® adds an essential professional qualification to your marketing degree. As a Dual programme, graduates will develop both a deep understanding of marketing and a firm grasp of essential financial concepts, allowing them to progress to senior strategic level positions.
