Learning & assessment
You’ll learn by doing, in a dynamic and creative environment.
You will blend theory with practice through lectures, seminars, workshops, and computer-lab sessions, where you will analyse live marketing cases and build your own campaigns. The focus is on applied, industry-relevant learning designed to develop your confidence, ensuring you’re a career-ready marketing professional.
You will explore exciting and relevant themes such as digital strategy, branding, advertising ethics, sustainability, and global consumer behaviour. Each year builds on the last, with increasing emphasis on independent thinking, innovation, and real-world readiness.
You will engage with a wide variety of scenarios drawn from real organisations across sectors such as marketing, operations, entrepreneurship, HRM, sustainability, and strategy. These cases will challenge you to work collaboratively to analyse issues, debate alternative perspectives, and generate solutions that connect theory with practice.
You will have plenty of opportunities to test your knowledge in authentic business situations, such as live briefs, consultancy-style projects, simulated business environments, enterprise activities, and opportunities to contribute to social impact or civic engagement initiatives.
You will undertake a capstone project, where you will choose from a range of pathways from research to sustainability-focused interventions.
We will empower you to take ownership of your learning journey and develop the mindset to be a lifelong learner. We will facilitate your learning through reflective dialogue, structured feedback, and mentoring that will enhance your personal growth and academic independence.
You’ll gain key skills in resilience, adaptability and professional self-awareness and put yourself in a confidence place for future study or employment.
