Course summary

It is now essential to understand digital viewing trends, social media audiences and how to plan engaging and effective digital media coverage for an ever demanding fan base. The MSc Football Communications & Digital Marketing degree programme is designed for graduates and industry practitioners with a keen interest in football and sport. Degree content The programme leverages contemporary themes from marketing, such as digital marketing, public relations, fan engagement and multimedia journalism, to enable students to evaluate the relationships between these areas. Those with a particular interest and experience relating to the marketing and communications industry are particularly suitable for this programme. No longer are fan bases constricted to the home country. International audiences are now a vital, and in some instances more important, base to tap into and engage with.

Social media videos and strong in-house story tellers help to promote the club and its merchandise.
