This subject is formed by four teaching modules: marketing plan, public and social marketing, international marketing, and experiential marketing.

All Advanced Marketing modules are evaluated with the following structure:

  • Participation and assistance 20%
  • Exercises and practical cases 40%
  • Deliveries and presentations 40%

To be evaluated, the student must have a minimum of 80% attendance and participation, and 50% of the exercises, practical cases, deliveries and presentations.

To pass the subject it is necessary to pass each module independently (with a grade of 5/10 or higher).

If the subject is not approved, the master's coordination will offer the student the possibility to re-evaluate the module/s that have not been passed, according to the evaluation of the professors and the coordination.

If the student approves the re-evaluation, the maximum mark he will get in the re-evaluated part will be 5. The re-evaluation calendar will be published together with the module's grade list.

IRREGULARITIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF EVALUATION ACTIVITIES:

The completion of assessment activities is subject to the provisions set out in this course guide and in the "Policy of the School of Economics and Business on the Detection of Irregularities during Assessment Activities", which regulates the conditions under which assessment tasks are conducted and the procedures applicable in cases where indications of irregularities are detected. Students are encouraged to consult the policy.

USE OF IA:

“For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information search, text correction or translations, as well as under professors' recommendation.

The students will have to clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the result of the activity.

The lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in cases of seriousness.”

EXAMINATION-BASED ASSESSMENT (Avaluació única):

Must be requested at the beginning of the course in Academic Management of the Faculty of Economics and Business


It will consist of an examination of the entire subject, with a weight of 100% on the final grade. The exam is mandatory in person

• Retake will follow the same procedure as continuous assessment.

• Final grade review follows the same procedure as continuous assessment.
