**About the course**
Equip yourself for the marketing challenges of the future on this CIM-accredited course. Whether you’re interested in launching your own company or want to innovate at the heart of a global organisation, you’ll study a combination of marketing and management theory and practice.
On the Marketing and Management BSc you critically evaluate organisational and consumer behaviour, while learning the importance of marketing strategy, brand development and new product management.

Options include services marketing, neuro-marketing, leadership, entrepreneurship, the circular economy, project management and public management. You can also spend time enriching your experience by exploring different disciplines from across the university, and have the opportunity to apply for a year working in industry where you can put your knowledge into practice.
