MA Strategic Communication (Arabic–English) (1 Year)

Overview

A one-year bilingual master's in corporate and government communication — campaigns, media relations, crisis and measurement — practised across Arabic and English audiences. Arabic-strand language evidence required as stated on the programme page. Imperial University in Cairo delivers this award fully online across the Arab region. There is no campus. English is the administrative language of the award; Arabic-medium tracks require additional language evidence. Assessment is identity-checked. This is an academic Master's award; where a field has a licensing or registration route, that remains a matter for your professional body or regulator. You will work through the material as a practitioner-researcher: applied methods, real or anonymised cases, and a supervised capstone or dissertation as the final component. Faculty mark whether you noticed the constraints a slide deck usually hides. MA Strategic Communication (Arabic–English) (1 Year) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 4 Semesters (2 Years), and the credit total is 30. Students move from Marketing Strategy & Value Creation through Marketing Strategy & Value Creation; Consumer Behaviour & Decision Psychology; Brand Equity, Architecture & Positioning; Digital Marketing, Content & Platform Growth; Integrated Marketing Communications & Media; Pricing, Revenue & Product Marketing, and finish on Writing for the C-Suite. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students justify a marketing decision with evidence rather than a slogan. Reading is a brief, a channel note, and a measurement plan. The artefact a marker expects is a campaign or content recommendation with audience, channel, and measure. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Set a customer strategy and a positioning that holds up Run marketing analytics, attribution and experiments Plan and measure across digital channels and content Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

The programme carries 30 credits across four assessed modules. Delivery is tuition-free aside from the examination fee. Transcripts use letter grades and a GPA scale consistent with Imperial University in Cairo awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.

ALX70301	Marketing Strategy & Value Creation Marketing Strategy & Value Creation (ALX70301) is a 3-credit course on MA Strategic Communication (Arabic–English) (1 Year), with 30 notional learning hours. By the end, students can justify a marketing decision with evidence rather than a slogan, using Marketing Strategy & Value Creation as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a brief, a channel note, and a measurement plan. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a campaign or content recommendation with audience, channel, and measure. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit.

Research Design for Marketing

Research Design for Marketing (ALX70313) is a 3-credit course on MA Strategic Communication (Arabic–English) (1 Year), with 30 notional learning hours. By the end, students can justify a marketing decision with evidence rather than a slogan, using Research Design for Marketing as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a brief, a channel note, and a measurement plan. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a campaign or content recommendation with audience, channel, and measure. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit.
