Marketing

Bangor Business School has a close relationship with many professional bodies that recognise the quality of our courses. Our BSc Marketing degree is accredited by the Charted Institute of Marketing (CIM), demonstrating to prospective employers that you have up-to-date, commercially relevant knowledge that can be readily applied in the workplace.

Studying on our Marketing degree will allow you to develop into an outstanding marketing professional, fully equipped to launch into an exciting career. Furthermore, by studying on our accredited Marketing programme, you will receive automatic exemptions from a range of professional qualifications that can enhance your career progression. These exemptions will allow you to gain highly sought-after professional qualifications by employers faster and more affordably.

As well as using simulation games to bring challenges to life you’ll be able to have lots of practical experiences. You’ll learn more about consumer behaviour, communication channels and how sales and branding can impact products and services. You can gain skills in social media, websites and learn about other digital marketing channels.

On most courses, you can choose to undertake a Work Placement module where you will work in industry, applying the skills you've learnt in the classroom. Most of our courses also offer the opportunity to undertake a Work Placement Year, offering you a fantastic opportunity to broaden your horizons and develop valuable skills and contacts.

At the Business School we have plenty of opportunities for you to boost your employability. Our Enactus programme supports students in engaging in social action and social enterprise, allowing you to work on an existing idea or to develop one of your own with support from our employability experts. We offer students various exciting opportunities to gain hands-on, business-related experience. Our students can participate in national competitions such as the 'The Pitch, a UK-wide Business Plan and Marketing challenge.

A marketing degree opens up a wide range of creative and technical roles. You could specialise, for example, in events marketing, advertising, branding, communications, PR, content and digital marketing. Alternatively, you may gravitate towards market research, analytics and insight, and search engine optimisation. 

The transferable skills you will gain will open doors in a range of sectors. Your ability to think creatively and plan strategically will be valuable to many employers.

Studying Marketing at Bangor University means you’ll be joining a welcoming and supportive community. You will get to know your lecturers well, we operate an ‘open door’ policy where students can book a meeting with academic staff and we run regular drop-in sessions for students to come along and ask questions.

You will receive regular pastoral support from your dedicated personal tutor when studying with us. Your personal tutor can help with personal and academic matters, such as creating a study plan, making friends, and point you to a wide range of support services available from the wider University.
