About the Course
This course explores and clarifies concepts in the application of marketing, communications and reputation management specifically to higher education settings.
It will allow participants to:
- make informed, evidence based decisions on the implementation of concepts, strategies and tools to the higher education sector
- become aware of current trends and practices in marketing approaches specifically pertinent to educational institutions
- provide leadership in taking their institution toward a marketing orientation and an enhanced reputation
The course will clarify the meaning of marketing and its evolution in the higher education sector for context.
The question of how marketing can relate to education settings, and current applications of marketing concepts to education, is then explored.
Approaching marketing planning, implementation and evaluation from a strategic viewpoint is then introduced as the starting point for the marketing effort.
A range of concepts will be explored from the strategy perspective, and a framework for an education setting to develop a strategic approach to marketing is part of this investigation.
Critically, consideration of organisational culture as a means of enacting a marketing orientation is included. Following this, implementation of various marketing concepts and strategies pertinent to an education setting are examined.
