Key themes As the course begins, you’ll learn the foundations of marketing theory and explore how market research, customer insights and competitor analysis are used to build successful strategies. You’ll go on to study the science of brand management and influencers and find out why great marketing puts the audience at the centre of its design. You’ll understand how people respond to marketing and explore ethical issues around off and online behaviours. Further topics include social and positive psychology, management and marketing strategy, psychology of marketing and management and marketing consultancy. As the course progresses, you can direct your own learning with a broad range of optional modules developing specialist skills for the career you want. We’ll encourage an insightful, inclusive and responsible mindset, helping you develop the curiosity, creativity and digital skills you need to get ahead. Applied learning We think the best way to learn something is to do it in the real world. That means putting learning into practice through placements, internships and real-world consultancy projects through our global network of leading businesses. Placements You’ll have the opportunity to arrange a year-long work placement between your second and third years. This gives you valuable work experience to prepare you for your future career and allows you to graduate with an Applied Professional Diploma to add to your CV.

You’ll also have summer and winter school opportunities in a variety of locations. Recently these have included France, Germany, Spain and Morocco. You might even be eligible to study abroad for a semester at one of our partner universities in Europe, the US, Australia and beyond. Live projects You’ll take a real-world approach through focused employability modules, engaging with businesses to provide client case studies and projects.
