Digital Marketing

You’ll use (at least) the big seven social networking platforms, as well as other online communities, and create all manner of media: audio, video, infographics, memes, copy and websites.

We’ll help you to become an independent professional and a team player, understanding the dynamics of ideation, creativity and collaboration. You’ll practice pitching and presenting as part of a team, and you’ll start your own social media channels, growing your own audience and influence online, to evidence your skillset.

In your second and third year you can tailor your degree to your own interests and aspirations. You may choose to explore content creation, PR, digital media creation, or study international business and eMarketing – it’s up to you!
