Subject

Marketing

Marketing stands on the cutting edge of those professions required to adapt to a constantly changing environment, and there is an increasing need for graduates in this area to have an in depth understanding of the role of digital marketing, data analytics and targeting. Our integrated Marketing with Advertising and Digital Communications degree has been designed to fit the study of marketing firmly into a social science context and to prepare students for work in a dynamic, data-driven, and increasingly online world.

The degree starts off with an introductory year into marketing and the digital world, which will equip students with the foundational knowledge they need to explore the discipline in-depth in subsequent years.

Our course equips you with the skills you need. You can apply your knowledge through consultancy projects via our Business Solutions Centre, or further enhance your employability with a year-long placement. You can enhance your employability further by undertaking a placement year. Based in the capital city, you will benefit from LSBU Business School’s links and connections.

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.

What about your long term prospects?
