This programme, accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), has been designed for graduates who aspire to a career or advanced study in marketing. It will prepare you to respond to the challenges posed by today's global business environment, both on and off line. There are three different degree awards available, giving you the option to focus on strategy and business development or digital, or to pursue a more general degree programme.

You will also have the opportunity to gain professional marketing qualifications through the CIM Graduate Gateway programme. Students graduating from the MSc Marketing will receive exemptions for two of the three modules required for the Level 4 Certificate in Professional Marketing and one exemption for the Level 6 Diploma in Professional Marketing. Since this MSc Marketing programme enables students to obtain these CIM qualifications, which are highly sought after by employers, graduates will be ready for a successful career in marketing.

This is a specialist programme so some academic experience in marketing is required through a prior degree that contains some exposure to business, marketing or management. We are also seeking students who have a curious and creative mind and possess a genuine interest in the subject.

You will be part of a dynamic and diverse body of staff and students, and will be taught by experienced academics. Many staff within our School of Economics, Finance and Management are actively engaged in conducting pioneering research at international level, and our school was ranked sixth in the UK for its research impact (Times Higher Education analysis of REF 2014), reflecting the quality of our research and its role in shaping policy and practice in the UK, Europe and globally.
