Course summary

OVERVIEW

Marketing is a business function with the power to shape everything from sales and customer service to product development and brand loyalty. The best marketers see the big picture, when they look at the business landscape, and identify the opportunities to communicate and influence audiences and spot the threats that could damage their brands. This marketing degree is all about exploring that landscape, taking those opportunities and avoiding those threats.

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 the 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 and professional skills.
