Real status of King's College for Masters in International Marketing

Hi, I've applied to King's College for Masters in International Marketing 2021 intake. Is it really worthy of Marketing and management masters degree in terms of employment and course recognition? If anyone knows anything about it, would really appreciate your opinions!

It's the degree subject that is the problem not so much the university. KCL is a reputable university anywhere, the subject less so. You need to be certain that employers actually value the degree and taught learning, rather than practical experience, such that the fee is value for money.

Thank you for your prompt response! I'm confused with the very same part. KCL is a well-known university but does the course hold that recognition by the employers? After all, everything bottles down to one thing - how much do you earn after putting so much money in the degree.

I suspect the only people who get any value out of international marketing degrees are those already in established careers, who work in an international sphere and hope to open themselves up to more marketing based roles. If you are an undergrad and just going straight on to a more specific Masters, I suspect they don't make a positive return on investment for the majority.
