TESTIMONIALS
Rita Benjellou Touimi, Morrocco

I chose to study Digital Marketing following an internship I did in Morocco, which I loved. The field is very diverse. It is not only social media. Once you experience what a digital marketer does, you understand more of the marketing strategies in place, the consumer behaviors dictating them, and gain a much better insight on customer’s needs.

The classes, coursework and numerous industrial visits exposed us to various facets of digital marketing. My favorite subjects were Social Media Management, Web Design Optimization and Mobile Marketing, UX and Conversion, Design Thinking, and Negotiation and Communication. All were very interesting and useful in real life.

During my studies at GBSB Global, I was offered a unique opportunity to take part in an internship at a consultancy firm. I worked within their social media department, as well as alongside the management team. This practical work experience was really enriching and made me all the more convinced that I am on the right career path.

Sum Up Your Skills and Leadership with a Comprehensive Final Project

Final Project (20 ECTS)

A Final Project (Capstone) is a multifaceted assignment that serves as a culminating academic and intellectual experience for Master students. Students take what they have learned throughout the course of their Master’s program and apply it to examine a specific idea/problem within their area of specialization. A Final Project involves the identification of an existing problem in a real-world setting and the application of learned skills and methods to develop a solution that addresses the problem directly. There are several options among which students can choose for developing their Final Project: either it may be geared toward research or may be more oriented toward problem-solving. Solutions offered by students are usually interactive and realistic, meaning they can be implemented and used either in professional life or in further research and study.
