What Is a Marketing Degree?
A business cannot survive if its products are not marketed in the proper way. Luckily for all the businesses out there, the number of candidates wanting to pursue a marketing career is growing tremendously.
The aim of this degree is to help students anticipate, manage, and satisfy customers’ needs and wants. By doing so, they will be able to effectively communicate the benefits of any business product to the targeted market.
Due to the fact that marketing is a complex industry, which tackles many areas ranging from market research to advertising and promotion, this degree focuses on all parts of the process before concentrating on a particular area of study.
Benefits of a Marketing Degree
Good news for marketing graduates! If you did not know yet, marketing is an essential aspect of all types of businesses, from all sectors of activity. Thus, all of them rely on marketers to promote and sell their products. A high market demand comes with many job opportunities available.
According to Labor Department Findings, graduates with a marketing degree can earn 98% more per hour than the ones working in the industry without having a specialised degree.
Furthermore, students are equipped with transferable skills, such as excellent communication abilities, strategic thinking, planning, data analysis and so on, that can be used in other industries too.
Marketing Degree Structure
Marketing degrees can be studied either as Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BSc). The major difference lies in the presence of more scientific and technological aspects, which are commonly seen in a BSc rather than a BA.
Like most degrees, marketing courses last between three and four years, depending on the university. However, there are institutions which give students the possibility to do a two-year associate’s degree – also called a ‘foundation’ degree.
Even if graduating from both degrees qualifies candidates to work in this industry, a Bachelor degree has higher chances to lead you to well-paid jobs.

Juan PabloRoom for improvementI’m currently studying abroad as a Mexican student in UCLM in Ciudad Real, and what I have gathered so far from my courses in Business Administration is that there is great room for improvement in the way they are taught. I have been able to see that they are already trying to implement new teaching methods and more modern examples; although, most of the classes are still just listening to a seminar like kind of class, with little interaction and practical ways of learning.

On the other hand, the environment is really good full of student life with a surprisingly big Erasmus present in the city, people from all around Europe can be seen on campus and on classes; however, even though I do not know with certainty, I think there are very few, if not any, courses in the English language, all of the classes are in the native (Spanish) language.Programme: Marketing and ManagementDegree: Short CourseGraduation: 2022Delivery Type: On CampusCampus: Ciudad Real
