COURSE CURRICULUM

The BSc Marketing degree at Loughborough University provides a comprehensive curriculum designed to develop both specialist marketing knowledge and essential business skills, preparing students for a wide range of careers in the marketing industry. In the first year, students build a solid foundation in marketing principles, management and international business fundamentals, accounting, ethics, and responsible business practice, alongside quantitative business skills. Optional modules allow exploration of organisational behaviour, finance, law, and global business contexts. The second year focuses on consumer behaviour, digital marketing, marketing research, global brand management, and contemporary business challenges such as sustainability, with optional modules enabling further specialisation in areas such as data analysis, finance, human resources, and business information management. The final year integrates advanced marketing knowledge with practical application through modules in marketing communications, sales management, international marketing, and strategy planning, while students also undertake a work-based project to gain real-world experience. Optional modules allow students to explore entrepreneurship, big data, organisational intelligence, digital technologies, and international business management, enhancing their employability and adaptability. Across all three years, the degree emphasizes critical thinking, analytical skills, and the application of theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios. Graduates are well-equipped for careers in digital marketing, brand management, advertising, consultancy, and international marketing roles, or for further postgraduate study in marketing and business.
