Learn Marketing Strategies. Drive Brand Engagement. Build a Dynamic Portfolio.

This two-year Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Marketing is designed for students with a non-business bachelor’s degree who want to gain robust marketing expertise. Perfect for career changers, professionals enhancing marketable skills, or international applicants seeking Canadian credentials in marketing, the curriculum combines foundational business knowledge with specialized marketing techniques and industry applications. 

Program Highlights

Students build a strong foundation in core business courses, covering key subjects such as accounting, organizational behaviour, business ethics, commercial law, marketing concepts, business statistics, business strategy and policy, and business decision-making. These courses build essential knowledge in how organizations operate and how strategic decisions are made.

Students then move into a marketing concentration, where coursework explores integrated marketing communications, consumer behaviour, marketing research and analysis, brand management, digital marketing strategy, and global marketing. Throughout the program, students gain hands-on experience through campaign-based projects, marketing simulations, and portfolio-building exercises designed to prepare them for a career in the marketing profession. Optional co-op placements or industry-aligned consulting opportunities allow eligible students to apply their skills in a professional setting beyond the core credit requirements.
