BA (Hons) Business and Marketing Management forms part of our suite of business courses. Compared to the core Business Management course, it has a greater focus on skills and knowledge related to marketing. Modules studied include marketing strategy, strategic integrated marketing communications, consumer psychology, managing projects, strategic management, and e-marketing strategy.

As a graduate from this course, you'll have excellent skills and knowledge in marketing strategy and project and strategic management. You’ll be ready to step into a marketing role in a wide variety of industries across the world.

What you'll study

Many of our courses include a range of modules you can choose from. Some of these options may only be available if you’ve already studied specific required modules. If you’re not sure what you need before picking a module, your course leader can help.

Undergraduate module credits should total 120 credits per academic year. If optional modules are available alongside core modules on your course, you should choose an amount that totals 120 credits.

How you'll learn

Teaching methods include a mix of lectures, seminars and ‘surgeries’. You'll spend significant amounts of time in independent preparation and assignments.

You'll be expected to work more independently and take greater responsibility for your own learning.

Your progress will be assessed by individual assessments such as case studies, blogs/vlogs, and written reports.
