Overview

Marketing provides a valuable contribution to any organisation by acting as the bridge between it and its market. This is vital in the satisfaction of organisational objectives and in the provision of sustainable competitive advantage. A Higher-Level Apprenticeship (HLA) in Marketing offers a route into the marketing profession whilst developing key knowledge, skills and behaviours through study, which are then applied in a work setting.

The HLA Marketing at Belfast Met offers its apprentices a two-and-a-half-year Foundation Degree in Marketing whilst in paid employment. The learning aspect of HLA is offered by your study pathway – one day a week in college, on the FdSc Marketing, whilst your role within an HLA employer allows you to apply your learning in a marketing role within your workplace. The Foundation Degree in Marketing is validated by Ulster University.

In addition, you will have work-based projects to complete and report on. Throughout the programme, you will also have the support of both a workplace and a college mentor to advise and guide you.

The Foundation Degree in Marketing at Belfast Met is also a CIM Accredited Degree, which means that on successful completion, graduates earn exemptions from the CIM Level 4 Certificate in Professional and Professional Digital Marketing. Consequently, this speeds up the process of achieving professional recognition which serves to enhance employability within this discipline. CIM is the globally recognised professional body for Marketing.

Entry Requirements

To be eligible for this programme, applicants must be in employment or have secured employment with a relevant employer prior to commencing the course.

As an HLA, prospective students will need to:

Be in paid employment as an apprentice or be an existing employee moving to a new job role, with a Northern Ireland based company.
Work a minimum of 21 hours per week (which includes time for ‘off-the-job’ training in college);
Have achieved all necessary entry qualifications for the qualification.

Applicants must satisfy Ulster University’s general entry requirements for Foundation Degrees as set out in the prospectus. Alternatively, applicants may demonstrate their ability to undertake the course through the accreditation of prior experiential learning (APEL).

Careers

Having completed the programme, apprentices have the opportunity to complete a degree in Marketing, or they could pursue professions in the following areas:

Digital marketing
Advertising
Public relations
Communications – internal and external
Brand management
Event management
Export marketing and sales
