Hi all,

My name is Vaz and I am interested in taking MSc in Digital Marketing (AKA online marketing or internet marketing).

I've been browsing the internet and came across the website findamasters.com which is time saver. Did some research and looks like there is not a very big selection but these:

Manchester Metropolitan University (In partnership with econsultancy.com, 36 months, looks like mostly distance learning)
PgCert/PgDip/MSc Digital Marketing Communications
http://www.findamasters.com/search/masters-degree.aspx?course=14466
Cost: $15164 + VAT

University of Southampton
MSc Digital Marketing
http://www.findamasters.com/search/masters-degree.aspx?course=16421

University of Wales, Newport
MA/MSc Digital Marketing*
http://www.findamasters.com/search/masters-degree.aspx?course=26130
Cost: £9500

University of Portsmouth
MA Digital Marketing
http://www.findamasters.com/search/masters-degree.aspx?course=12551
Cost: £10500

And so on...

I have no experience in this, after I find any interesting result, I go to Google and check the name to see if its accredited or not, but still, I am not sure If I am doing everything correctly...

Please advise how to search or which university is good to take for Digital Marketing, I prefer taking full time studies.

Thanks everyone,

Best,

Vaz

You can assume that the prices of the courses are a good indicator of the quality of the university. Out of these four, the University of Southampton is definitely the best.

Thanks Charls,

In general, how should I search for the course? I mean, what is most important in choosing the university and the course?

Any replies from all members are welcome!

hey,

assuming that the quality of university can be estimated from its fees may not be entirely accurate. NYU boasts one of the highest tuition fees but it may not be as outstanding as an ivy league with cheaper fees.

maybe u could ask around or download papers on digital marketing. see which one of the universities is influential in that area of specialization.

just a thought. :)

You might want to see if you look at the individual league tables for subject areas first as University teaching delivery can vary from subject to subject.

Southampton look the best from these tables of the Universities you mention.

It also depends heavily on the student to do the work, a point missed all too often.

I think it depends on what you want to focus on. I have been working in the startup world for a while and wasn't thinking about an MBA till I saw the Technion Start-uP MBA in Israel program. It is focused on entrepreneurship, innovation and technology management which is right up my alley. Plus I am interested in maybe spending time in Tel Aviv which is where most of the start ups from Israel are based. Basically I think you have too see what fits your needs best.

Thanks for the link... actually Southampton is #3 in Computer sciences and IT, which is awesome.

I also found Irish business school UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School which offers MSc in Digital Marketing (http://www.smurfitschool.ie/mastersprogrammes/marketing/mscindigitalmarketing/), I checked the rankings and its far behind Southampton in IT.

There are several other universities which I think are worth checking... here is one of them:

http://www.hec.edu/MSc/Programs/MSc-in-Marketing - HEC Paris.

This faculty is interesting but I aim more towards Digital / Online / Internet stuff.



This is really interesting, can you please share any links to the top unis in Tel-Aviv / Israel?

Best,

Vaz

Thanks a lot... its pretty impressive and also expensive, but should be worth it though.
