Marketing

Why study Marketing?

The evolving digital landscape has transformed how the media reaches audiences, brands engage with consumers, and businesses serve their customers. Marketing plays a vital role within the heart of a global organisation, as much as a small start-up.  

As the biggest creative, digital and media community outside of the capital, Manchester offers the ideal setting for developing your skills and exploring your passions. With a strong network of partnerships with industry leaders and professional bodies, we’re ready to help creative communicators and forward thinkers get ahead in the marketing world.
