Important Information to the Marketing Master’s Programme Students

As programme co-ordinator of the master’s study programme in marketing, I would like

your studies here, I will be responsible for the academic content of your study
programme and I will be co-ordinating the teachers involved in the programme. I will
also be teaching some of your classes. The duration of the studies is one academic year.
When you successfully complete that year you will get hold of Degree of Master of
Science with a major in Business Administration.

The specificity of the University of Skövde is three-fold:

- A unique set of high quality courses in Marketing.
- An international and inter-disciplinary environment, where students from all
over the world can share their experience, knowledge and culture.
- A friendly and fruitful cooperation between students and the teaching staff, as
well as the administration. The university attempts to provide close
supervision and sensitivity to students’ particular issues.

The introduction and registration to the programme will take place Thursday 26th of
August 2010, at 10.15-12.00 in Room G109. You are strongly advised to arrive in
time and make your travel arrangements at an early stage, so that you are present

programme coordinator otherwise you may lose your position. Absolute deadline for
