Overview

The UK’s advertising and marketing industries are growing faster than any other creative sector. With an estimated 190,000 jobs and counting, career opportunities for graduates are still on the rise (creativeindustries.co.uk).

Our marketing, promotion and management courses offer you the chance to develop skills in branding, PR, promotion, forecasting, trends and merchandising. Whichever specialism you choose, we’ll encourage you to explore it in great depth so you can graduate with a range of useful skills, including Adobe design proficiency, branding, organisation, communication, presentation, time management and prioritisation, as well as subject-specific knowledge. You’ll keep an eye on digital media too, to stay up-to-date with changing technologies.

You’ll be part of a close-knit creative community at UCA, learning from our experts and experienced tutors. Studying alongside students in fashion, business, photography, graphic design and textiles, you’ll be encouraged to collaborate with individuals from across our portfolio of disciplines to develop a well-rounded understanding of the creative industries.

We’ve seen alumni secure roles at high-profile career destinations such as River Island, Topshop, Ralph Lauren, Burberry, House of Fraser, ELLE magazine, British Fashion Council, Selfridges and Harrods.

By the end of your degree, you’ll be a commercially aware, innovative storyteller with a wealth of contacts and the professional skills required in today’s marketing, promotion and management roles.
