A business cannot survive if its products are not marketed in the proper way. Luckily for all the businesses out there, the number of candidates wanting to pursue a marketing career is growing tremendously.
The aim of this degree is to help students anticipate, manage, and satisfy customers’ needs and wants. By doing so, they will be able to effectively communicate the benefits of any business product to the targeted market.
Due to the fact that marketing is a complex industry, which tackles many areas ranging from market research to advertising and promotion, this degree focuses on all parts of the process before concentrating on a particular area of study.
Good news for marketing graduates! If you did not know yet, marketing is an essential aspect of all types of businesses, from all sectors of activity. Thus, all of them rely on marketers to promote and sell their products. A high market demand comes with many job opportunities available.
According to Labor Department Findings, graduates with a marketing degree can earn 98% more per hour than the ones working in the industry without having a specialised degree.
Furthermore, students are equipped with transferable skills, such as excellent communication abilities, strategic thinking, planning, data analysis and so on, that can be used in other industries too.
Marketing degrees can be studied either as Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BSc). The major difference lies in the presence of more scientific and technological aspects, which are commonly seen in a BSc rather than a BA.
Like most degrees, marketing courses last between three and four years, depending on the university. However, there are institutions which give students the possibility to do a two-year associate’s degree – also called a ‘foundation’ degree.
Even if graduating from both degrees qualifies candidates to work in this industry, a Bachelor degree has higher chances to lead you to well-paid jobs.
The education going on here is very unprofessional, you have professors who keep speaking in romanian to foreign students, the courses are so bad written they basically put their romanian lessons through a translate website which does it VERY POORLY. The teachers are souless, they give no meaning to the course they just read the translation very badly (in foreign language) you can barely understand what they’re saying. Whenever there are experiments, you feel like the professor is just rushing to finish it while students have barely understood the process of these experiments. There is no actual lesson you can physically study because most of the time it’s messed up because of the translation it’s gone through so you basically have to rewrite and research everything by yourself and you can still get it wrong because you’re just a student not a professor. Some teachers are always late to class, you find yourself waiting 20 mn everytime when going to certain courses. On top of that some professors who don’t take their subjects seriously will send you the exam the day before you pass it just so you can come in get your full mark then leave and this is a serious concern for me is the presence of corrupt professors who would fail you on purpose until you bribe them. This might not be the case in other big romanian cities but it is the case of timisoara UMFT. This is viable for foreign students, romanian students get a very different experience than us a better and PROPER one.
