Course Details - Modules

Your transformation from new student to future marketing professional will begin from day one.

You will also develop the academic skills needed to succeed in your degree area, such as academic writing, referencing and public speaking. In Year 1 (Level 4) you will gain an understanding of marketing in a real-life context along with essential digital marketing skills. You will also develop management awareness in areas such as finance, people and organisations. In Year 2 (Level 5), you will use this marketing knowledge to make key decisions and consider the different ways businesses operate around the world. You will start to shape your career path by choosing an aspect of marketing and a five week work placement that suits your personal interests and ambitions. Your final year (Level 6) is even more tailored towards giving you the competitive edge you need to enter the area of marketing you want. You will carry out an original supervised research project into a subject you select and complete a module designed to maximise your individual professional success. Everything you study will be anchored to today’s business world.
