10 advantages of the "Marketing Manager HF" course

Part-time study at a university of applied sciences requires an apprenticeship certificate in the commercial sector or retail trade or the completion of a commercial secondary school. In contrast to studying at a university of applied sciences, a vocational baccalaureate or high school diploma is not required. Another advantage of studying at a higher technical college for marketing is that, unlike a higher technical examination in marketing or sales, no management experience is required as an admission requirement. It is therefore possible to be admitted to this course with professional experience in marketing-related areas and to complete this comprehensive and generalist course. Those who graduate with a Federal Diploma in Marketing Management HF are able to manage projects, lead employees and achieve marketing goals.
