Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: P30A

Here's what University for the Creative Arts says about its Digital Marketing & Social Media (with Integrated Foundation Year) course.

BA (Hons) Digital Marketing & Social Media with integrated Foundation Year is a four-year degree programme, including an integrated foundation year to help develop your skills and creativity before you start the first year of the degree course.

Where creative thinkers become marketing leaders.

Creativity is a booming business, but even the best ideas mean little if nobody gets to see them. You’ll learn to make sure they’re seen – by building brands, shaping campaigns, and driving audiences across every platform – with creative instincts that will give you an edge when you launch your own career.

At UCA, you'll study alongside fashion designers, stylists, photographers, and creative entrepreneurs – surrounded on all sides by the creative energy of a specialist arts university. Being part of real creative practice will give you an intuitive understanding of how creative industries think, work, and communicate.

From live client briefs and industry conferences to hands-on technical sessions, and from content creation to data analytics – your learning is focussed on doing things and seeing what works. You'll be taught by professionals who've spent decades in agencies, publishing, advertising, and merchandising – and who bring that experience into your projects, feedback, and career conversations.

There is little social engagement between students except on Discord app where it is quite lively. The students tend to be younger than me so I do not mix so well with them there.
