You’ll look at different media and methods of communication, study how to analyse and segment audiences, and discover how to craft and deliver the right message at the right time. To start with, you’ll learn about marketing fundamentals, but you’ll also have the flexibility to choose modules that interest you most as you progress. By the time you leave us, you’ll not only understand the theory behind effective marketing – you’ll also have a range of practical, professional skills.
You will enrol on the three year course which will give you the flexibility when you start your studies to choose a year on placement or to study abroad, once you are here, so you would complete your degree over four years if you chose this option.
