It's possible for UK students to study this course part-time. You'll take the same modules as MSc/MA students, but sometimes in a different order or in different years.

As a part-time student you'll typically study for twice as long as full-time students. For example if the MSc/MA course takes one year, you can expect to study over two years, though for some courses this may vary.

Our postgraduate degree is designed for marketing professionals and entrepreneurs who want to fine-tune their skills and advance their knowledge.

It’s been created for today’s marketer, with modules reflecting the needs of modern marketing professionals – specifically digital marketing, understanding the global customer and brand psychology.

Enhance your knowledge of internationalisation, digital marketing, and entrepreneurship.

You’ll consider how technology has created new dynamics of volatility, from business innovation to political/cultural change, requiring leaders to have international awareness and lead across cultural and ideological boundaries, embracing positive disruption in the marketplace to remain competitive and relevant.
