Read Olly's top five reasons why he loves studying Marketing at CCCU.

Studying Marketing at Canterbury Christ Church University is fantastic! Not only is this degree preparing me for the real-world but I have made lifelong friends and built strong relationships with my lecturers.

Here are my top five reasons why I love studying Marketing at CCCU.

Collaborating with peers

l often carry out group assignments with other students on my course, and I enjoy the teamwork aspect. This will help me to work in teams in the future in a work environment. I also like the social aspect of being able to work with others and build relationships from classmates to friends.

Digital marketing modules

During my digital marketing modules, I was introduced to some software such as Google Analytics and a simulation software called Stukent.

These were really fun and interesting to use. I’ll most likely use very similar software in the workplace, so using these digital tools has given me the confidence to learn, understand, and incorporate new platforms into my work.

Applying theory to real-world scenarios

My course often involves case studies and practical applications of marketing theories. I enjoy applying what I’ve learnt in classes to real-world scenarios and gaining practical experience, which will be useful in my future career.

CCCU emphasises the importance of practice-based learning, which really sets graduates up for employment, as we have acquired both the theory and skills that we can practically use in the workplace.

Guest lecturers and industry events

CCCU often hosts guest lecturers and industry events that provide me with opportunities to hear from marketing professionals and learn about the latest developments in the field. These events have also allowed me to network, which has given me the opportunity to create strong industry links for when I graduate.

Building a portfolio

My course often involves practical assignments, such as advertising and branding campaigns and developing branding strategies. From this I’ve been able to build a portfolio of work that I can show future employers that illustrates my ability to practically perform with the theory and knowledge learnt from the course.
