Business and Marketing BA(Hons)
Your course
Marketing is one of the core disciplines of business. Study business and marketing together and you’ll have a unique understanding of both topics that could prove invaluable in the private or public sector. The course begins with a focused introduction to the core principles of marketing. We’ll look at what drives the consumer, and how to connect with them and we’ll take a wider view to see how marketing fits into the business environment.
The business modules on the course enable you to focus on the business issues that you are interested in. You’ll begin to develop an understanding of just how complex organisations can be, and how individuals, groups and processes can affect a business’s overall performance.
You’ll have the opportunity to take an optional placement year that could see you working in a variety of roles for diverse organisations. Our combination of broad knowledge, with its application to real world scenarios, readies students for careers in a range of business and marketing leadership.
