BSc Marketing With Foundation Year
Course overview
This four-year program starts with a Foundation Year, acting as a pathway for students who might not meet direct entry requirements for a bachelor's degree. This first year helps build essential academic writing skills, improves numeracy, and introduces specific subject material. Completing the Foundation Year successfully is necessary to move on to the main degree course.
After the Foundation Year, students begin the three-year BSc Marketing degree. This part of the course covers modern marketing topics like digital and social media, artificial intelligence, and understanding consumer actions. It also includes branding.
The programme is recognised by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and the Institute of Data and Marketing (IDM), helping students get valuable industry standing. Students learn through real marketing situations and projects, which prepare them for jobs in the field.
