Marketing with a Foundation Year (January Start)

Can you picture yourself working for a multinational marketing agency, or with a household name brand?

The BSc Marketing at Swansea University can set you apart as a committed marketing professional, who has the dynamic creative skills needed to manage marketing activities on a local, national or even a global level.

Whether you are seeking to work agency or client side, in the third sector, or for your own consultancy, our course equips you with everything you will need for a successful career as a marketing practitioner.

Our programme is a CIM-accredited degree, designed to develop you into a key member of the next generation of strategic, creative and analytical marketing professionals. Blending academic rigour with real-world relevance, the programme offers you a balanced mix of research-led teaching and practice-based learning, providing you with the tools to succeed in a rapidly evolving sector.

Your studies will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of contemporary marketing theory, strategy and practice. You will develop strategic, creative, entrepreneurial and analytical skills through applied projects and research, enabling you to interpret market data, manage customer relationships, and implement effective marketing strategies in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

By the time you graduate, you will have developed into a confident and professional communicator, who is capable of engaging effectively across cultures, media and professional teams, while continuously reflecting on your personal and professional growth, a mindset that is key to a long and successful career.

The optional Foundation Year for this programme can give you an exciting introduction to higher education, setting you up with the skills, confidence, and knowledge that you will need to be successful in your undergraduate degree. It’s ideal if you need a little more support after further education, or are returning to education after a gap. Following successful completion of the Foundation Year, you will progress onto Year 1.
