“A masters degree in Marketing at NUI Galway gave me an incredible advantage as I headed out into the competitive world of work. I had confidence in the depth of my knowledge and its application in a way that reflects the excellent teaching.”
Fergal

Fergal Hynes |   Senior Negotiator, RE/MAX Ireland

The theory and guidance provided by lecturers throughout the MSc in Marketing helped me hone the skills and knowledge necessary to pursue a chosen career path to the Property sector. My roles attained in a marketing capacity subsequent to this Masters provided me with a wealth of experience I would later require to branch into the Property sector and become a Senior Sales Negotiator. I highly recommend this course.
