You want to be more than a marketer – you want to be an agent of change. Your passion is not just about selling more stuff, but the ideas that inform how people relate to and understand the world around them.
This course is designed for you to understand and communicate the the big ideas concerning politics, the environment, technology or social change.
Building on the fundamentals skills and abilities all marketers require, we seek to channel your curiosity and passion within the public sector, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), or charities.
To achieve this, the course incorporates modules from the social sciences so that you’re prepared to develop marketing strategies and campaigns capable of winning hearts and minds.
Outside of the classroom, you have opportunities to be involved in student-led Marketing Society and a Business School initiative called 360, which offers students the ability to consult on marketing problems and opportunities for real-world small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
The course benefits from Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) accreditation, recognised by major employers, allowing you to earn a CIM Graduate Certificate or Diploma alongside your degree.
In your first year, you’ll study Consumer Behaviour and Analysis, Marketing Principles, Marketing Communication, and Social Media Channels alongside other Business & Management modules. These modules are compulsory for all marketing courses, allowing you flexibility to change to a different course or stream after your first year if you wish to pursue a different career path in your second year of study.
We provide you with the technology and expertise to work in our consumer behaviour lab, a purpose-built facility, to research what creates different attitudes and behaviours.
The course is underpinned by a deep understanding of professional practice and academic concepts. You’ll draw on the expertise of lecturers with extensive professional credentials and research experience and be inspired by industry guest speakers, including those who graduated from UoG.
