Embrace the changing nature of today’s business environment to develop your intellectual and creative knowledge of marketing communications and advertising – balancing both theory and practice. On this course you will create a portfolio of work to show future employers your creative and innovative skill set. How you learn: All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. You’ll be taught by tutors with a range of advertising, public relations, branding, sales and marketing communications experience. You learn through:
  • lectures, including specialist guest lectures
  • seminars and workshops
  • case studies
  • live projects
  • individual and group presentations
  • directed learning activities
Applied learning - Work placements The course incorporates work-based and work-related learning, primarily through optional placements. You’ll have the opportunity to undertake an industry placement in between your second and third years of study. This is typically 48 weeks long and gives you a real-world experience to prepare you for your future career. Through our strong relationships with regional, national and international employers, we can help you secure a great placement opportunity and support you while you’re there. If you’re doing your work placement in another European country there is a possibility of funding through the Erasmus+ programme (until 2023) or the Turing Scheme. Live projects You’ll experience work-based projects in each year of your course, increasing your knowledge, skills and attributes to prepare you for graduate-level employment. These will be a mixture of live client briefs and short placements. You can also pursue your own business initiative, subject to approval. Networking opportunities We’re one of the few universities in the UK to have a student Marketing Society linked to the Chartered Institute of Marketing. This is a student learning community that complements and enhances your academic studies, and allows you to link up with local professionals. You’ll automatically be a member of the society, which also runs regular events with local and national employers.
