What I most enjoyed about my course was the diversity of all the modules. From studying copywriting and PR to digital marketing and branding, I have graduated with skills that lie in many different areas. It means that no day was ever boring, and it has been extremely beneficial for me in my new job role carrying out a variety of different marketing tasks.

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.
Why Study Marketing?
Our range of contacts in the marketing, PR and advertising industries mean that throughout your degree you will have opportunities to meet and talk with industry professionals and take advantage of opportunities for internships and placements.
As part of your assessments, you will have the opportunity to work on projects with external clients to give you real marketing experience which will boost your employability skills.
Between years two and three, you can choose to spend a year in a full-time, paid work placement, with support from the Business School and the University’s career development service. There are also short term and full year opportunities to gain some experience in Europe and beyond. These valuable opportunities enhance your knowledge, personal and professional development.

Core/optional modules
How you’ll learn
You will study modules to the value of 120 credits each year. Across the year each module combines 50 hours of lecture and seminars with 150 hours of self-study time which you will use for reading, research and preparation and production of assessments. On average, you should expect to study for 35 hours per week during term time.
All programmes are informed by the University’s Learning and Teaching Strategy 2015-2022.
Delivery of modules will typically consist of a two hour lecture and a two hour seminar per week for each of the six modules being studied each year. Blended learning is widely used to support both teaching and module support. If you choose to take Marketing with either Advertising, Tourism Studies or Business Management these modules will all be in the Business School. If you take another combination, your modules will be taken from other Schools and you will be taught by staff in those subject areas.
Most of our staff have experience as practitioners and are actively engaged in research and knowledge exchange projects, as well as consulting to commercial enterprises. Our team brings together academics from different parts of the world, with experience teaching in Europe and beyond. This allows us to provide teaching that is relevant to industry and informed by developments in academia and the wider business sphere.
We are passionate about the fantastic course we have developed in Marketing and hope you are too! We will nurture and support your personal and professional development in helping you earn your stripes to become a Marketing professional when you graduate.
