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.
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 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.
i have to admit it. there’s no perfect educational system, but as far as efforts go this University has that edge in it. i won’t say they’re constantly evolving, but at this pace they’re probably doing just fine.
the devotion from all staff i’ve encountered is proof of that.
I have been here a couple of months now and to be honest I do not feel like I’ve progressed much. I do believe that partly that is due to myself however the teaching style of just teachers reading from a PowerPoint isn’t engaging with me. Right now I feel my University experience is just stagnant and I’m just going about my days with no goal in mind which I hope to Change, whether that is through being more Social or finding the lessons more engaging is yet to be seen.

There are small things like the uncertainty of the strikes and which teachers/classes are going to be effected and I think that there should be building allocated to certain subjects like I think the Fashion students should be in the Fashion/Art buildings instead all around the entire campus.

View moreThe academic facilities and quality of teaching were excellent, interesting lectures and good infrastructures, the location of the uni was perfect, close to both the train station and the centre. plus manchester is one of the biggest student cities, there are four other universities and you get to have all the amenities and freedom of choice in restaurants and activities, and with a very reasonable cost of living. In general MMU is a really open and free thinking place and there are so many opportunities available in all aspects of student life!
