Question for entrepreneurs - noob to Marketing

[Mada_]

I am a complete beginner to studying Marketing. I have seen some courses from local universities which are 6 months - 1 year long, which introduce you to concepts such as:

• consumer insight and target audience profiling
• media planning and buying
• strategic marketing and research in business
• digital media applications and software
• social media marketing and advertising
• creative and persuasive communications
• website marketing and video production.

If I do not plan to create a career in Marketing specifically, would this be a wise time investment? Is a university a trustworthy source of information in regards to Marketing? Or would I be better off consuming videos, youtube videos, books, online courses etc.?

 

Thanks.

Your better of reading Seth Godin and studying Eben Pagan.

@Mada_ How can we know the quality of what your Uni teaches? It all depends on the quality of it.

From the course titles you gave, it sounds relatively decent.
