Simos Chari

Programme Director MSc Marketing

“I love the diversity of our MSc in Marketing. What excites me every year, is interacting with students from all over the world and been exposed to new ideas and culture backgrounds. My teaching style revolves around research-led learning, student engagement, and practical relevance. In my classes we apply theory to the business world. Students are treated as young marketing executives that are challenged to make informed decisions and solve realistic business problems. In my classes, expect live business challenges, scenario-based activities, and talks from practitioners.”

“I enjoy teaching the cutting-edge techniques and tools of data analytics, which can be easily applied to support real-world business decision making. The most advanced topics are often informed by our current research, which provides a unique perspective that cannot be easily replicated elsewhere.”
