Top Marketing student gains CIM recognition
Monday July 26th, 2010
A top BA (Hons) Marketing Management student has gained recognition from one of the leading international accreditation bodies in the UK, the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM).
Jennifer Robertson, 22 from Darlington has graduated from Newcastle Business School at Northumbria University with a first class honours degree in Marketing Management and is the winner of the Chartered Institute of Marketing prize for ‘Best Student’ at the recent graduation ceremony, that took place in Newcastle at the City Hall.
The CIM delivers support for marketing and business development, helping people at every stage of their career with training, qualifications and resources. The CIM sponsors Newcastle Business School prizes for ‘Best Student’ at undergraduate and postgraduate level. The undergraduate prize was awarded at the July congregation. Jennifer said: “I am so proud to have won the CIM prize for Best Marketing Management Student. I put in a lot of hard work this year so it's great to get some recognition for it. It went straight on my CV as soon as I read the email to say I had been awarded it.”
Jennifer undertook a placement in her third year of university year at IBM, and was given the opportunity to get involved with various projects from designing a sales training tool to working with hospitality at Wimbledon. Jennifer adds: “I really enjoyed my time at Newcastle Business School. The first two years provided a good introduction to the world of marketing and ensured I was ready to take on the responsibility and challenges my placement at IBM had to offer. Coming back to university for the final year I was really able to relate the theory to real world experiences, making it easier to understand and apply. All the staff have been great, both friendly and supportive.”
Dr David Hart, Senior Lecturer at Newcastle Business School said: “Throughout her time at Newcastle Business School, Jennifer has been a model Marketing Management student. She has achieved consistently high grades throughout her time here, all of which demonstrate both a strong academic understanding and a professional work ethic. Everyone here at the business school wishes her all the best for the future”.
