Overview

The DESS en marketing at Université du Québec à Montréal gives first-level managers practical knowledge in specific areas of marketing together with the critical thinking needed to analyze concrete organizational problems, using case studies, teamwork, and applied activities. The 24-credit programme is completed in five terms on a full-time basis or ten terms part-time, with admission at the fall and winter terms. Courses are generally held in the evening and on weekends. The programme addresses core marketing issues facing organizations and is aimed at professionals seeking to develop or update their marketing management skills within a practice-oriented, case-based curriculum. Candidates with a lower cumulative average may still be admitted through alternative pathways combining relevant work experience with additional university coursework.
