Marketing with Placement Year, BSc Hons FullTime

There is a lot of self-study required and time spend reviewing the content yourself to check understanding. The lecturers are really open for discussion and are happy to spend time with students one-on-one to help understanding. The modules are assessed by mainly 3000 word reports or essays. They involve choosing a company to research, which allows you to customise what industries and business you work in. The uni likes to keep learning up to date, so the information and examples are fresh, and new modules are often introduced. I enjoy this course and am definitely learning skills for future employment, but it I very research based rather than practice based - the portfolio you develop is report and essay filled only. read more
