The Department of Marketing Management celebrated its top students for 2018 at the annual awards function held on Tuesday, 16 April 2019. The students, together with their family members, were hosted at a breakfast function prior to their graduation ceremony at the Hillcrest Campus.
The Department’s award function is a prestigious event where the top Marketing Management students are honoured and celebrated for their achievements. The prizes for the top student in each year level were sponsored by Discovery and the top honours research student by Consulta.
