The program is structured in the following 6 areas of knowledge: strategic planning of relationship and digital marketing, data management, digital channels and content management, online analytics, marketing technology and economic planning.
The practical application of knowledge is achieved throughout the development of the Master's Final Project, a relationship and digital marketing plan based on an individual project, freely chosen by each participant and guided by their mentor, and whose purpose should be to have a positive impact in the world, aligning with some of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
Likewise, the master emphasizes key professional competencies such as emotional intelligence, communication skills, or the definition of digital identity and personal brand.
All of the above fulfils the aim of the master when each participant transfers what they have learned to their professional field. To do this, the UPF Barcelona School of Management—through its Career Services department—offers the possibility of carrying out extracurricular professional internships during the development of the program for those who are not yet working.
The Master in Digital Marketing Management also includes the possibility of participating in practical activities and activities for personal and professional growth such as:
Once you have passed the program, you will receive the following electronic degree certification (eTítulo©): Lifelong learning master's degree in Digital Marketing Management, awarded by Pompeu Fabra University. The eTítulo© will be issued in Catalan, Spanish and English.

The master is taught by teachers who are professionals in digital marketing. This guarantees a continuous update of the academic contents, as well as a pragmatic and practical methodological approach.
The Master’s methodology in Digital Marketing Management aims to accompany you continuously and customarily throughout the program. To this end, it combines several learning methods.
Master's group sessions will be mostly held in a presential manner, with the exception of some, which will be taught in streaming, through webinar and meeting platforms.
In all sessions, teachers facilitate learning dynamics and deepen the appropriate content. The work that can be assessed for each subject will be explained at the appropriate group meetings to facilitate its preparation.
Throughout the Master's, you will work on your own professional challenge: a project that each participant defines from the start. A mentor will guide and supervise your project, helping you to apply the skills acquired during the Masters, to develop analysis and diagnostic skills and to make workable proposals for its implementation.
In addition, the Academic Management Team keeps track of the evolution of each participant by providing the necessary support for the maximum use of the programme.
In this methodology the tasks are reversed: you will review the materials (documents, videos, and other sources) before the class, and you will work on them with other participants of the master, solve exercises and submit them in the class sessions. In this way we encourage participation, critical thinking, collaborative work, and creativity.
Master's Final Work will respond to a real challenge, with a strategic and operational marketing plan of a project that connects to your personal interests and professional aspirations. TFM will allow you to deepen the application to your project of all the concepts, techniques and tools provided in the group sessions.
From the first day, a mentor (professional from the marketing sector or master's alumni) will guide you, challenge your ideas, help you identify reference teachers, projects, companies, and activities with which to enrich your project and give you emotional support.
We have identified the key competences that favour your professional development: leadership, communication, cooperation, adaptive thinking and autonomous learning. We will work these skills in a personalized manner throughout the development of the TFM and its milestones. In addition, through masterclasses with digital marketing professionals, we will develop the key competences for effective management.
After the first and second trimesters of the program, you will have an individual track session with a member of the Academic Management Team. In it you can contrast your evolution in the program and you will get feedback on your progress. The purpose will be to help you to get the fullest performance from the Masters and connect it to your professional development.
The evaluation of the progress of each participant is carried out continuously throughout the program of the master and takes into account the following aspects:
Project-oriented learning and the combination of lectures and active methodologies such as case studies, flipped learning, solving real problems and professional simulations allow the student to connect theory and practice, acquire advanced skills and achieve learning which is transferable to work.
You will have:
The current environment has shown that the digitization of companies is not only essential, but is a matter of strict survival. All organizations must continue to compete in an uncertain environment, for which their marketing needs to be effective and responsible more than ever.
