Why you should study this course

Real-world experience
The hands-on nature of this course alongside the opportunity to undertake a work placement or internship², aims to provide you with work-ready skills which should help you transition more quickly and easily into your professional career.
London location
Living, studying and even working in London can give you extraordinary exposure to marketing in many shapes and forms.
Industry exposure
Guest marketers from industry discuss their work and offer career advice (subject to availability).
Multicultural learning experience
You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a truly multicultural experience, since you may be studying alongside students drawn from many countries around the world.
Prepare for your future
You should complete your course with a clear idea of the career options open to you in marketing, whether in-house with a business, within an agency environment, or as an entrepreneur. If you’re interested in starting your own business, you could get business start-up advice and support from our Enterprise Hub.

If you choose to start this course in January you will study exactly the same course but over a slightly shorter timescale in Year 1. This is ideal if you missed the September start, want to transfer from a different university or course or just need a bit more time to prepare for life at university.

Immerse yourself in Coventry University London’s global community and emerge as a talented, career-ready graduate with an international outlook.

What you'll study

Here at our central London campus, you’ll be surrounded by some of the world’s most famous businesses and creative agencies – and we aim to offer plenty of opportunities for mixing with them. This is the ideal place to start preparing for a successful career in global marketing.

The course title tells you the key things you need to know. Firstly, every aspect of your study shall be set in an international and multi-cultural context. Secondly, you’ll have the opportunity to learn how to apply a set of very practical skills which are highly valued by employers. Thirdly, you should become well-versed in the theory and practice of contemporary marketing, and how marketing informs, and is informed by, other business functions.

We aim to cover essential aspects of modern marketing, including the value of information, performance measurement, and customer and competitor insights. You’ll explore the ways in which creativity and innovation help to shape marketing – whether in developing new products and services or new ways to communicate with highly targeted and even niche audiences.

The first year lays the foundations for understanding business practice. You will cover how organisations and the global business environment work and what marketing can do to make an organisation viable. You also examine how to manage business data, information and people, and become familiar with the theory and practice of marketing. The course also examines how internationalisation can mean more competitors and new opportunities – these are crucial issues which affect us all as the world becomes an increasingly global economy. You’ll also begin to explore the significance of the digital world, and the way this is redefining marketing practice.

It provides the opportunity to relate the theories, models, concepts and ideas studied and debated within the previous two years to a real-world organisation and its operations.

Optional

Dissertation - 40 credits

The aim of this module is to provide you with the opportunity to undertake a significant piece of written work in a topic appropriate to the field of study. The aim is to provide you with an opportunity to undertake a substantive piece of research, integrating research skills development and extending your knowledge and experience to a specialist area. The dissertation topic may arise from literature relating to your course of study or a practical problem in global marketing. Alternatively, it may relate to current/past work experience. You may be able to use the research topic that was developed in the Research Skills module.

You will need to think carefully about the exact focus of the dissertation topic. The chosen topic needs to be initiated by you and needs to be of interest, as you will need to spend around 400 hours of work on it. The topic can be further developed through discussion with your dissertation supervisor. The topic selected will need to be appropriate to the course of study, logistically feasible, adequately resourced and will adequately address ethics, safety and any required permissions. Therefore, you and your supervisor will need to invest some time in thinking about the chosen area and topic for research. Throughout the entire process, you will be supported by a supervisor who will guide you through the process. Supervisors will normally meet with you once every two weeks to review the progress of the work and to advise on changes and improvements. The meetings will normally take place face-to-face and are intended to give you support and provide formative feedback. You will be able to develop a meaningful study demonstrating and applying skills obtained during the course of your university studies.

Optional

Internship - 40 credits

The aim of this Internship² module is to give you the opportunity to undertake a significant piece of written work on a topic appropriate to the field of marketing. The aim is to provide you with an opportunity to undertake a substantive piece of research, integrating research skills development and extending your knowledge and experience to a specialist area of interest on a topic relevant to the internship employer context and approved by your supervisor. The project will comprise a piece of original research supported by a theoretical exploration of the debates, themes and issues raised by the research in question and may draw upon the analysis of particular experiences, field-specific problematics, events, practices and institutions in professional contexts through focused research, to place their career aims in a professional context/ marketplace(s).

You will be required to reflect critically on the experience of working with an employer to inform their ongoing personal and professional development akin to that of a new manager entering the workplace. You will draw on feedback sought from key stakeholders from this module. This will normally include the employer, colleagues at the employer organisation, and supervisor. The critical reflection will enable you to produce a tailored Personal Development Plan for your future career. Throughout the entire internship project, you will be supported by a supervisor who will guide you through the module and the assessment process. Supervisors will normally meet you once every two weeks to review the progress of your work and to advise on changes and improvements. The meetings will normally take place face-to-face and are intended to give you support and provide formative feedback. You will be able to develop a meaningful study demonstrating and applying skills obtained during the course of your studies at Coventry University London.

Optional

Marketing Simulation - 40 credits

This is an action-based learning module in which you have opportunities to act as a business manager in a simulated business environment; making business decisions and seeing the results (in real time) in a highly competitive environment over several rounds of play representing business years. The Marketing Simulation module creates a platform that affords you the real business experience on your learning journey by introducing you to an environment where you actively engage in deep learning through anticipating outcomes and observing the effects of the decisions and business choices you make. The module helps you learn to reflect and refine your knowledge by actively engaging in a group business review facilitated by your supervisor. This review process helps to reinforce learning derived from application of theoretical framework/models /concepts taught in earlier terms. Simulation generates high energy among students through business interactions and processes, thus providing new perspectives of the business environment.

Optional

We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated.

What I enjoyed most about my internship placement with Pulse Social is that they really encouraged me to get creative and learn how to express myself. I’ve also met a lot of people who have the same passions as me and I’m really thankful for that.
Carla López Bazaga, Global Marketing BSc (Hons) student, quoted in 2021

Put your skills into practice

Our strong global business connections provide students with access to real-life work experience, so you can put your skills into practice and make connections in the world of work.

How you'll learn

Although you’ll spend time in lectures and seminars, this course takes a workplace-oriented, contemporary and practical approach to learning. You could be involved in workshops, debates, case studies, consultancy projects, simulations, business plans, reports, and online collaborations². There is an emphasis on group work, helping you to build your teamwork skills.

You may also be able to enjoy our excellent programme of guest lectures, thanks to our wide network of prestigious alumni, leading academics and industry leaders (subject to availability). Beyond the classroom, there are opportunities for internship and work experience with a large network of employers². You could also learn more about global business by participating in local and international company visits².
It is strongly recommended that you develop your skills in self-directed learning, which means exploring for yourself rather than being taught in the classroom. This could mean anything from background reading to attending events and/or doing relevant part-time or voluntary work.
You could choose to enhance your personal and professional skills by engaging in extra-curricular activities such as our Student Enterprise Business Society.

If you choose to start this course in January it will be run as a condensed programme. You’ll start your course in January and finish your first year in August. Upon successful completion of Year 1, you will progress onto Year 2 in September and then continue to start subsequent years of your course in September, completing your degree at the same time as the September starters unless you opt to do a placement year.

The contact hours may be made up of a combination of face-to-face teaching, individual and group sessions, and online classes.

This course can be offered on a part-time basis. Whilst we would like to give you all the information about our part-time offering here, it is tailored for each course each year depending on the number of part-time applicants.

The form of delivery will be determined in accordance with Government and Public Health guidance. Whether on campus or online, our key priority is staff and student safety.

Assessment

This course will be assessed using a variety of methods which vary depending upon the module. Assessment methods may include written reports, formal examinations, coursework, individual assignments, presentations, pitches, workplace simulations, group projects and portfolios.

International experience opportunities

Key aspects of your learning aims to be internationalised. You will explore marketing case studies from around the world, and your tutors will share experiences of their work or research in other countries. There may be overseas field trips with visits to businesses, institutions, exhibitions or other events². You could choose to do a placement year between your second and final year, and/or an 11-week internship² in your final year, and you are free to arrange your own opportunities in other countries if you prefer not to pursue them in the UK. Throughout the course, you may study as part of a diverse cohort alongside other students from all over the world. You will benefit from their perspectives and insights and learn to adapt your approach in order to maximise the benefits of multicultural working.

Coventry University Group aims to give you the global opportunities needed to become a truly global graduate, enhancing your employability on a global scale. Choose from language classes, studying or working abroad, international field trips, summer schools, leadership development or work experience.

**EU Support Bursary

Following the UK's exit from the European Union, we are offering financial support to all eligible EU students who wish to study an undergraduate or a postgraduate degree with us full-time.

How do you know if you need to pay UK or international tuition fees?

We carry out an initial fee status assessment based on the information you provide in your application. Your fee status determines your tuition fees, and what financial support and scholarships may be available to you. The rules about who pays UK (home) or international (overseas) fees for higher education courses in England are set by the Department for Education. The regulations identify all the different categories of student who can insist on paying the home rate. The regulations can be difficult to understand, so the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) has provided fee status guidance to help you identify whether you are eligible to pay the home or overseas rate.

If you meet all the criteria required by any one category, including any residence requirements, your institution must charge you the home rate. You only need to find one category that you fit into.

Facilities

We have a range of facilities⁴ available to support our Global Marketing students in putting the theories you are taught into practice. Take a virtual tour of our campus to explore all of the facilities available to you.
