How you'll learn
Your teaching will be delivered through a combination of:
- Group work (e.g. discussion groups)
- Lectures
- Online learning
- Seminars
- Tutorials.
Outside of these, you’ll be expected to carry out independent study, including coursework, essays, and reading. We’ve also introduced hybrid learning, a mix of online and face-to-face sessions, in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.
I’ve gained theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of digital marketing, social media, channel management, entrepreneurship and the most important aspects that every marketer should know regarding marketing analytics. The course offers flexibility around the optional modules, so I’ve been able to match to my career interests and aspirations.Ivalena Martinova - Digital Marketing and Channel Management MSc
