Message From The Founders
We observed that around the World leading Universities have formed numerous societies that work in the best interest of the students and Universities; keeping this thing in mind we have taken an initiative to start the Marketing society of Bahria University. We believe that in every learning organization that there should be an association which performs as a bridge between marketing students and the corporate world and that should provide the students with an opportunity to interact with people in real world. In this way students will have a chance to practice the marketing skills learned through the courses attended to the real marketing situations. This will build team work and confidence among students. The main purpose to start this society is to bring together ingenious students on one platform that will work together and learn about the current marketing practices in the industry.
