Marketing
Pearson BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Business (Marketing). The award comes from Pearson in the UK, not from TIIB.
Marketing as a discipline rather than a set of posts. You learn research, positioning, brand, campaign planning and the digital channels that carry most of it now, and you run real campaigns before you graduate. Dubai gives you a market with 200 nationalities in it to practise on.

What it costs
Examination fees are included.

A Level 5 HND is 240 credits
Direct entry into the final year of a UK bachelor's degree in marketing, digital marketing or business.
Those credits are the first two years of a UK bachelor's degree, which is why the last year is one year and not three.
Why here

The centre is approved to deliver and assess the award in Dubai Knowledge Park, and Pearson audits that.
