Marketing is the bridge between an organisation’s products and its target audience – and it can make or break a business.
From influencer marketing and the rise of AI tools to the move towards flexible working, the world of marketing and management is changing. This evolution means there are lots of roles for managers and marketers to pick from in market research, PR and brand consultancy. And we’ll help you find where you fit.
Our course combines business management with marketing theory and practice. You’ll focus on the principles of marketing and management before unpicking more specialised areas. These include advertising, consumer psychology and market analytics. Campus is buzzing with conversations about our latest research on social justice, good governance and sustainability too.
Our proximity to the city means you’ll be in the right place for internships and networking events. We also love taking your learning outside of the classroom. Our academics do this by using their connections to arrange visits to companies in the city. Previous partners have included Microsoft and Facebook.
If you select the 'Year in Industry' route, you’ll have the opportunity to spend the third year of your degree on an industry placement with an employer.
We give you the tools you need to confidently step into the world of work. The teaching team also has an initiative to help you build your personal brand, so you know how to present yourself to employers and secure your dream role.
The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) has awarded a Graduate Gateway against this programme. The modules you study as part of the degree give exemptions towards the CIM Certificate and CIM Diploma in Professional Marketing.

If you are taking an Integrated Foundation Year, this will take place before Year 1. If you choose the Year in Industry option, your degree will take four years to complete.
