A post-graduate Master Diploma Course lasting two months for graduates in Business and Economics or Marketing and eager to work in the automotive sector. For 2019, Accademia ED in collaboration with the leader motoring magazine Quattroruote is offering a Master Diploma Course in Automotive Marketing.

THE MASTER
The word marketing has many nuances and the expectations of the work world are complex. Joining the marketing office of a company working in the automotive sector is never easy for someone fresh out of university, and no internship can cover all the complex workings of the profession today. All sectors are seeking new workforces that are familiar with their work environment but cannot afford to train them for long periods inhouse.
The automotive world, in particular, needs young people who know what to expect and are familiar not just with the theory but also the world they will be dealing with. There is a need for people with good knowledge of the automobile world who are ready to respond to the needs of the workplace.
They require young people trained to speak in public, write a press release, work on a car-launch campaign, interact with the Internet, conduct a radio/video interview and cope with the pitfalls of a crucial market – and who also have a first-rate grasp of new technologies and social media.
The Master Diploma Course in Automotive Marketing provides a high-level specialisation that gives students valuable training and forges a new class of expert operators immediately ready to join the work world.
A post-graduate Master Diploma Course for graduates in Business and Economics, Marketing or an equivalent. It provides comprehensive training for entry to the work world as marketing operatives for the automobile sector. The course is for young graduates eager to join the automobile world and work specifically in marketing, also with a multimedia focus. Some of those selected will receive bursaries to cover the cost of attending.
