An Integrated Foundation Stage starts your degree studies with a year spent learning the skills required to progress onto a full honours degree. Alongside an introduction to Marketing, you will develop valuable study skills, communication, team work and problem-solving techniques which help to build your confidence and prepare you for the rest of your course.

You’ll explore subjects such as customer behaviour, marketing principles and the global business environment, before specialising in areas to match your own interests and career ambitions. You can pursue one of our suggested course routes in digital marketing or marketing management, or choose your own individual combination of modules.
