A business that’s marketing-orientated focuses on the most decisive element of a company’s success: the customer. Pearson College London’s BRAND NEW BSc (Hons) Digital Marketing course is the perfect way to get you ready for a marketing role in industry.
So why should you study this course?
1. It’s in response to industry demand
Our industry partners have identified a gap in knowledge and therefore a requirement for digital marketeers. Digital marketing is one of the fastest growing industries and as more companies opt for a ‘digital first’ marketing strategy there is a huge demand for skilled, strategic and driven graduates in the sector. Therefore, you will be studying a course that will not only be interesting and relevant, but it’s what employers want!
2. Opens up a variety of careers
This new programme will tackle the central issues facing marketers and give you the latest skills and techniques to become an effective leader in a number of fast paced industries such as digital marketing, communications, PR, advertising and sales.
You might think that these sound similar, but every organisation needs these in order to truly understand the customer and the skills you’ll gain from the BSc (Hons) Digital Marketing degree will help you to succeed in one or all of these areas of marketing.
3. Industry connections
Our connections with industry will give you the chance to work alongside a variety of companies – from Start-Ups and SMEs to some of the world’s biggest brands. Our students have previously attended marketing workshops at the Headquarters of Unilever, Savills, L’Oréal, Twinings and Direct Line Group, to name just a few!
We focus on experiential learning and there will be plenty of opportunities to work with professionals and real businesses.
