For Loloah Alhozami from Saudi Arabia, the Management (Marketing), MSc was exactly what she needed to join the marketing sector. With no academic background in business, Alhozami found it necessary to have both marketing-specific knowledge and management skills. In Swansea University’s programme, she found both.
