The Diploma in Marketing Studies (DMS) is designed for those who would like to enrol on the Diploma in Marketing Communications (DMC), but are unable to study for 6 months. Unlike the DMC, the DMS is available on a fast-track basis and can be completed in as little as 3 months. If you enrol on the DMS, you will still cover most of the areas included on the DMC. (If you can study for 6 months, the DMC is likely to be the more suitable course for you, though the DMS can also be completed over a 6-month period on a full-time basis, or over a longer period on a part-time basis).
