The Business with Marketing pathway provides students with a knowledge of marketing that is grounded in theory and practice.
This degree should appeal particularly to you if you see marketing as being central to an organisation’s strategy and if you are interested in the broad range of activities that fit within the general category of marketing. You will gain a broad understanding of business from a marketing perspective. You will explore the breadth of the marketing function within an organisation and the extent to which it is central to strategy for many businesses. You will study the techniques and approaches used by businesses to build an understanding of their customers and to target their offerings appropriately.
You will learn about a wide range of marketing issues including the marketing mix, consumer behaviour, branding and advertising. The changing nature of marketing will be an important component of your studies. Marketing is covered both by specialist modules and electives that reflect the variety of the marketing function in contemporary businesses and provide an excellent basis on which to enter a career in marketing.
The Business with Marketing pathway will equip you with core and specialised marketing knowledge along with transferable skills that prepare you for a wide range of roles in the marketing industry, such as specialist advertising/publicity business or within the marketing team of a large organisation.
