Have your sights set on a graduate training scheme? Or looking to enter the world of marketing?
With our BA (Hons) Business and Marketing course, you’ll combine broader learning of business with specialist studies in marketing.
During the course, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of marketing research and planning, with further module options digging down into areas including retail marketing, relationship marketing, content marketing, buyer behaviour and customer experience.
How does this course enhance my employability?
Thanks to the 50-50 split between marketing and wider business studies, you’ll be well-placed to choose a career path in either discipline following your graduation – from specialist marketer to broader business roles.
You will be encouraged to undertake a work placement, study abroad or combine both. In the final year, you’ll have the option to carry out a
group consultancy project in the Faculty Business Clinic, a management enquiry
project or a dissertation depending on whether you completed a placement. The management enquiry project will allow for working individually to investigate a real business issue, and gaining critical practical experience.
