Careers
BA (Hons) Marketing & Advertising Management
“The thing that put my degree above other universities' degrees was being taught by industry professionals who were able to share their expertise and experiences of what it takes to succeed - it's that insight that's invaluable when you step into your first job and want to hit the ground running. The course significantly improved my confidence and knowledge of the industry, providing me with a great foundation to build on when working with major clients such as PepsiCo and Lexus.
