Subject

Marketing

In a highly competitive business world, excellent marketing has become essential for most organisations.

Marketing is the part of the organisation that communicates with customers. In such a competitive environment, this role has never been more important. Without good marketing, you won’t keep your customers and they will turn to a competitor.

Our degree will provide both the theoretical and practical grounding, to help you to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to embark on one of the many career opportunities in marketing

You will gain a firm understanding of the day-to-day work in marketing and its wider contribution to the organisation. Working on live projects and case studies will give you the confidence and skills to put theory into practice.

Our Foundation Year will help you take your first step into higher education, broadening your industry knowledge and enabling you to progress to a related undergraduate degree. It aims to help you develop a strong foundation of business knowledge, alongside academic and transferable skills to ensure you get the most out of your degree-level studies.

Professional accreditation
Our degree is accredited by two leading professional bodies - the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and Institute of Data and Marketing (IDM) and in addition to your degree, you can choose to take professional qualifications.

Want to join a fast-moving, diverse industry that's at the cutting edge of tech? Try marketing! A lot of the jobs are in London, but graduates don't just go to work in advertising agencies — all sorts of industries do their own marketing these days, and with the rise of digital and mobile technology, a lot of marketing is done in quite innovative ways using a wide range of methods. Common industries (apart from advertising and PR) include recruitment, online retail, higher education, banking and IT. A lot of jobs in this industry are handled through recruitment agencies, so if you get in touch with them early, that might give you a headstart for some of the jobs available. But be careful — unpaid working is not the norm in the marketing industry, but it is more common than in most sectors.
