Hey
Neprotox,
I see that you are primarily targeting Europe for your MSc Marketing.
Well, Europe has been the front-runner for Masters in Management and specialized master's degrees for quite sometime now.
Now, digital marketing is a trending field across almost all countries so getting a specialized master's degree will definitely give you the edge.
Now coming to your target schools, your research is good but I would suggest that you keep the below pointers in mind.
Do not compromise on the brand of the school, as most of the tier-1 companies recruit from the top schools. Now you have chose a specific niche of MSc Marketing to specialize in , so the ideal strategy to get into a strong digital marketing program is to Target either core digital marketing masters or target MSc Marketing programs that have solid digital marketing tracks.
In this context, since your most preferred country is Spain, I would suggest you focus on IE rather than ESIC. Italy schools are fair - Bologna is more known for its executive MBA programs, rather than the specialized master's programs and again I would not say that the others are known for strong digital marketing tracks. So unless you very specifically want to work over there, they can be put under safe schools.
Kedge has a strong supply chain management program, and while the digital track is good I am sure that there are more options in France and the rest of Europe to check out.
In my personal opinion, ESSEC and RSM’s MSc Marketing programs have really strong Digital Marketing Tracks. These schools have a massive brand in France and the Netherlands respectively, and are prominent across Europe - Since you have mentioned that you are open to looking at other countries and schools as well, so I would suggest you to check these options out.
Here are a couple of good options for core digital marketing masters as well:
-ESCP Europe - MSc in Marketing and Digital Media
-Trinity College Dublin - MSc in Digital Marketing
Again, both of them are prominent schools in their respective countries, have flexible immigration policies.
Just bear in mind that the salaries in Ireland are less when compared to other European countries, but the visa and immigration policies are extremely flexible. So if you go for a brand name like Trinity, it will still be a sound decision.
I think you will find this post on MSc Marketing Interesting - Might help you expand on your target schools.
