Advertising and Marketing

Subject Information

• Course Structure

  You will have the opportunity to work across a wide range of digital platforms as well as traditional media as you develop and execute real campaigns on your course. Our advertising and marketing degree courses provide numerous opportunities for work experience, input from industry professionals and we encourage our student community to cross-year collaborate.

  Students on a three-year single honours programme at undergraduate level will benefit from undertaking a year-long placement between Stages Two and Three of their study. These placements provide invaluable experiences for those who meet the entry criteria, allowing them to apply their learning and prepare for their future career path. We offer support to help you find the right placement to suit you, whether it be based in the UK or overseas.
