Committees
At the moment, the MARUG offers two committees in which international students can take part of. However, in the future we expect more international committees as we gradually shift to internationalisation.
MARUG Commercial Night
The MARUG Commercial Night focusses on online advertising and television commercials: marketing in its most basic form. The Commercial Night will consist of several lectures and an open discussion related to the theme of the night, all presented in a multimedia setting.
The event is organized by four international students.
The Commercial Night committee consists of:
- Chairman
- Theme/Lecturers
- External Relations
- PR/Promotion.
The deadline for application is November 14th, 2011.
MARUG Master Team
The MARUG Master Team (MMT) is a team consisting of Master Marketing students who will organize three events specifically targeted towards their fellow Master Marketing students.
The purpose of the events is to introduce students to the dynamic world of marketing and giving them a better idea of what working in marketing actually entails. All events include workshops and lectures of well known marketing firms. Over the years it has shown that both students and businesses are interested in the events of the MMT.
Due to the busy lives of Master students the events are limited to three, high quality events. Besides the informative aspect, all events also meet the needs of both businesses and students concerning recruitment. As a member of the MMT you will participate in the organization of all three events and contribute to an interesting, creative, inspiring day for your fellow Master Marketing students.
Another function of the MMT is being the ‘voice of students’ towards the Marketing Department. The MMT Chairman will represent all students during meetings with the Marketing Department. Any comment concerning course organizations, exams, or other marketing, study related issues will be discussed and solved. It is one of the goals of the MMT to make studying the Master Marketing pleasant for everyone. The MMT will furthermore encourage social activities among Master Marketing students and support all master students in their career paths were possible.
Does being a part of the Master Master Team sound appealing to you? Are you fully committed, hands-on and a good contribution to the MMT? Send in your application form and we’ll invite you for an interview.
