About this course
You’ll cover core marketing practices like branding, buyer behaviour and communications as well as the latest trends in digital, social and virtual marketing.
Plus, you’ll gain a rock-solid grounding in how to run a successful and sustainable business as a whole as part of a hands-on degree that prepares you for your future career.
From day one, you get to test your skills out in the real world through live business projects, placements, internships and more. Just like past students have for companies like Team GB, Pipers Crisps, Bosch, Tesco, Microsoft, IBM and McCain Foods.
Our students have also been supported to achieve success in the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) national competition, The Pitch.
And as we’re accredited by the CIM, you’ll be eligible for student membership and you can get exemptions from professional qualifications, access to a wider marketing network and invitations to professional marketing events to develop your CV and stand out from your competitors.

Module options
Each year, you’ll study modules worth a certain number of credits, and you need 120 credits per year. Most modules are 20 credits – so you’ll study six modules each year. Some longer modules, such as a dissertation, are worth more. In these cases, you’ll study fewer modules - but the number of credits will always add up to 120. Some modules are compulsory, some are optional, so you can build a course that’s right for you.
