How you learn

All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.


Key Themes

Our BA Digital Marketing course is a future-facing degree. You’ll be encouraged to think critically about how big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning and Web 4.0 will impact the marketing landscape – plus how you can leverage these technologies to get ahead.You’ll learn why providing value is more powerful than selling products – and why authentic storytelling is key to creating a brand that customers really care about. We’ll also explore the modern challenges of consumerism and globalisation, learning how to champion environmental and social issues to influence positive change.You’ll find out what it means to reach, engage and convert your audiences with cohesive digital campaigns, social profiles and content they’ll crave. You’ll build campaigns on global platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, WeChat and Telegram. You’ll then use powerful tools to test and analyse campaign performance, using these insights to optimise results across every stage of the customer journey.


Applied learning

We think the best way to learn something is to do it in the real world. That means putting learning into practice through placements, internships and consultancy projects through our global network of leading businesses.


Work Placements

You will have the opportunity to arrange a year-long work placement, allowing you to graduate with an Applied Professional Diploma to add to your CV. You will also have summer and winter school opportunities in a variety of locations. Recently these have included France, Germany, Spain and Morocco. You might even be eligible to study abroad for a semester at one of our partner universities in Europe and beyond.


Live Projects

As part of your studies, you’ll take on projects set by external organisations. These allow you to apply your learning to the real world, build your business network and take your first step on your chosen career ladder.You’ll also gain first-hand insights from local experts as they deliver regular guest talks on campus.
