Program Overview

The effective marketing of an organisation’s products and services is critical to its success. Our MSc Marketing course aims to help you develop your skills, knowledge and competencies in international marketing management and planning digital marketing communications, thereby enabling you to effectively contribute to the success of the business.

Our course will help you to achieve your management aspirations by being relevant to the modern marketing-focused business. The combination of academic study with workplace application provides many opportunities to better understand how to manage and make the right marketing management decisions that impact on the organisation’s success.

Our tutors encourage class discussions, helping you to learn to build, express and defend your own informed thoughts. Our modules have been carefully designed to provide you with relevant skills, knowledge and understanding that will enable you to perform successfully, and this course has the potential to offer you a springboard to a new career.

There is an option to choose a Project/Placement year for this course, at an additional cost.

Choosing a Professional Placement MSc is a win-win for your career, giving you the chance to get real experience, apply your cutting-edge skills in the workplace and stand out to future employers.

In the first year you will have help from the University to find a placement, whilst developing your expertise. You will then spend your second year out in industry on placement, getting the chance to work with industry professionals and grow your network of industry contacts. Bringing the latest business school insights to industry, you will get to make a difference to the workplace and make lasting links with your employer.

Students need to find and secure their own placement, supported by the University. A preparation module will also help you to get ready for your placement.

Please note, this programme is available as a one-year master degree programme, or as a Two-Year Master's Programme with a Professional Placement or Project. Please carefully consider your options when applying for our one year or Two-year routes as successful international applicants will not be able to change between programmes after a Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) letter has been issued or after arriving in the UK.
