Program Description
Brand Management involves understanding all aspects of a brand and then devising a plan in order to build brand equity. Seneca’s Brand Management graduate certificate program will focus on providing you with the skills and knowledge to develop and execute successful brand strategies that are focused on consumers. You will learn from a range of instructional styles, have an opportunity to work on case studies and build relationships with industry professionals through industry/association field work or optional co–op. The faculty encourages you to leverage your background in marketing, sales, psychology, economics, management, or mathematics to develop strategies with your peers.
Admission Requirements
Program Eligibility:
- A degree with a specialization in a marketing related discipline (eg. commerce, economics, statistics, social psychology, cultural anthropology) from a recognized college/university and/or mature student status with 3 to 5 years of documented, related work experience.
- English proficiency at the college level.
Recommended: Students with a recognized degree from an accredited institution (but who lack marketing-related courses) are encouraged to apply for the Marketing Management Graduate Certificate.
The Importance of Learning Skills:
Student success in college requires well developed learning skills (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well–organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. While it is expected that applicants would have developed these skills through previous education and life experiences, Seneca offers support to assist students with further development of these important skills. Seminars, workshops and tutoring are available at Seneca's Learning Centres.
