Studying my CIM Level 6 diploma at the University of Wolverhampton has been great. Our lecturer Monica has been very supportive and I’ve learned a lot while on her course. The structure has helped me develop my knowledge on marketing planning and strategy in a variety of areas including innovation and sustainability. I would highly recommend this course to people that are looking to take their marketing experience to management level.
