Study Marketing at University

We see a different world of marketing where we strive to have an impact on more than the balance sheet. A world where social responsibility is at the heart of everything we do. Let’s shape the world. Let’s make things happen. Let’s make a difference.

We have links with multinational companies, local businesses and professional bodies. So you'll have plenty of opportunities to gain real-life experience. Whether it be through live projects, internships or work placements.

Our programmes allow you to experience the very latest thinking and practice within the exciting world of marketing.

We have affiliations and accreditations with the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM)*. Upon graduation from some courses, you're entitled to exemptions on the CIM’s professional qualifications. This shortens the route to get acclaimed Chartered Marketer status.

Our courses lean on research expertise, and industry experience of our marketing tutors. As well as by consultation with the marketing, advertising and media industries across the globe.

The marketing modules provide the skills required to practise marketing with confidence. In many cases, the structure of the courses allows you to focus on areas of interest and career aspirations. We offer modules in consumer psychology, branding, digital marketing and communications.

Meet Business and Marketing graduate Mason. Mason took advantage of a year-long placement with BSH Home Appliances, a global company whose brands include Bosch, Siemens and Neff. It gave him first-hand insights into how multinational business operates. They were so impressed with Mason that he landed a graduate role with them.

One of the highlights for me was taking part in the Two+Two Marketing Event, at which teams from UK universities get hands on with a client brief, and pitch ideas to a judging panel. Steven Bartlett (Dragons Den) offered the winner the opportunity to spend a day with him in London.
