Degree Overview

Students develop core marketing skills and a thorough understanding of how the marketing function fits into a wider organisational context. Learn to work with a wide range of both established and emerging marketing tools and channels, including digital and social media marketing, influencer marketing, as well as the evolving roles of AI and metaverse applications in modern marketing. This degree also helps students to understand, where, when, and how to spend marketing budget to greatest effect; how to plan market research, develop strategic marketing plans, and create persuasive communications, while considering the needs of a multicultural, international business environment; and how marketing interacts with the operations and strategy of a firm as a whole.

Marketing is both profoundly local, selling to one customer, and global, selling to international markets. Our faculty, a blend of local and international experts, bring extensive experience in areas such as online retailing, digital marketing, SME marketing, and consumer behaviour, offering students practical and strategic insights into real-world marketing. They bring profound insights into the practicality and complexity of the Marketing subject.
