About Marketing With Year Abroad in University of Leicester

Be among the first to study at our new £16 million Brookfield campus, with state-of-the-art learning and facilities exclusive to Leicester School of Business students.

Our Marketing BA will expose you to the realities of the managerial experience in both the public and private sectors. You will combine your studies of management with a specialist focus on marketing management. This allows you to acquire a wide range of critical and analytical skills, along with a range of communication and team-working skills, which will be directly transferable to the workplace whatever career you choose to follow.

This course explores how markets culturally and economically work, and provides a broader approach to studying marketing than simply explaining how businesses use marketing techniques.

Consumption in society is shaped by the cultural, political and technological factors that influence marketing practices and this programme will prepare you to engage with these issues in critical, practical ways. You will be inspired to question the ethical and social responsibilities of the organisations that affect all our lives whether as customers, employees or citizens.

In addition all of our management degrees are dual accredited with ILM, the UK's leading Leadership and Management Awarding Organisation. This means you can gain ILM's Level 4 Award in Leadership and Management subject to passing the relevant modules.

The first year of this degree is shared with the following BA degrees:

• Management Studies BA
• Human Resource Management BA

This means that you will have the option to switch to any of our management BA degrees at the end of your first year.

Our courses will provide you with an in-depth understanding of contemporary management techniques, and will allow you to develop the skills to become an effective and socially responsible manager in local and global arenas, whether in public, private or third sector organisations and enterprises.
