Yes, you can pursue an MSc in Marketing or MSc in Business Administration instead of an MBA, especially with your 12 years of work experience and a prior postgraduate degree in Business Administration.

- MSc in Marketing: Best if you want specialized marketing knowledge, such as consumer behavior and digital marketing.
- MSc in Business Administration: Offers a broader business perspective, covering management, finance, and operations - ideal for enhancing overall business skills.

MSc programs typically value professional experience and may have flexible entry requirements. They focus on deepening expertise in a specific area, while MBAs are broader and more leadership-oriented.
