You’ll learn through a blended learning approach combining tutor-directed study and student-led exercises and activities, and will be taught by tutors who have real-world experience in different sectors of business. You’ll undertake modules that give you a firm grasp of the foundations of marketing and research, as well as an introduction to the world of digital marketing and the more strategic aspects of digital communications.

  • lectures, workshops and seminars

Applied learning We aim to develop your confidence, creativity and resilience over the duration of your course via core and elective modules. We’ll help you develop attributes such as enterprise, global awareness and responsible management. You’ll have chances to engage in different forms of work experience in each year of your studies, ranging from live business projects through to short placements. Work placements You’ll have the opportunity to arrange a year-long work placement in between your second and third years. This is typically 48 weeks long and gives you a real-world experience to prepare you for your future career. Due to our strong relationships with regional, national and international employers, we can help you secure a great placement opportunity and support you while you’re there. Previous marketing students have gained placements at companies such as IBM, Adidas, Marks & Spencer and Disney. Live projects You’ll experience work-based projects in each year of your course, increasing your knowledge, skills and attributes to prepare you for graduate-level employment.
