As the digital economy continues to grow, businesses need to develop a multi-channel digital presence to reach customers.

The programme is designed to meet industry demands by equipping the next generation of digital marketing professionals with the knowledge and practical skills to produce cutting-edge creative strategies and develop, manage and lead a digital marketing campaign.

It enables students to develop key skills in areas such as website development, social media management, content marketing, web analytics, user journey analysis, the effects of multi-screen usage, SEO and mobile integration.

Initially you will explore digital marketing principles and practices, emerging technologies and consumer behaviour in the digital age.

During the second year of the course, you and your fellow students will undertake a semester-long group consultancy project. This allows you to apply the theoretical knowledge gained in your previous year to a project brief provided by a business.
