About Bachelor of Science - Marketing (Including Year Abroad) (N502)
The global economy is undergoing unprecedented integration. Today’s marketers must thrive in crowded and rapidly changing markets. They must identify and respond to emerging customer trends in order to compete.
This highly practical marketing course at the University of Essex combines marketing theory with interactive projects, group work and business simulation games to explore the major issues facing marketers today. They develop students creativity, analytical and strategic decision-making skills, so they can maximize business performance in fast-moving, digitally connected and international markets.
The student's first year provides an introduction to essential business topics such as entrepreneurship, economics, accounting, finance, management and marketing. Upon graduation, students have the flexibility to continue their career in marketing, or pursue roles in other areas of business.
Students undertake an independent research project in their final year, where they explore an area of marketing of their choice to build their marketing portfolio before they enter the fast-paced sector.
The four-year version of this course enables students to study abroad during their third year. In all other areas, this version of the course remains identical to the standard three-year variant. Students can study abroad with one of the school's exchange partners in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, the Middle East, Hong Kong and Japan. In doing so, students experience other cultures and languages, meet new people, and gain intercultural skills that are sought-after by employers.
