Description:

Marketing is a fascinating area to study and an integral function of most organisations. Our Marketing degree involves research, strategic planning, brand and consumer analysis, and digital communication. If you are open to new ideas, persuasive, imaginative and a good communicator, you will enjoy our Marketing degree.

Accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing, our degree benefits from our strong links with industry and the research expertise of our staff. Marketing at Kent was ranked 9th in The Complete University Guide 2021.

Kent Business School (KBS) is a top business school for academic teaching, student satisfaction and graduate employment prospects. You are taught by specialist lecturers, as well as by leading experts currently in business.

Our degree programme

In your first year, you study accounting, management, financial reports and statistics for business, and are given a detailed introduction to marketing in a global context.

In your second and final years, you can choose from a range of modules related to marketing, which cover strategy, research, digital marketing, international marketing, branding and enterprise. Alongside your specialist marketing modules, you can choose modules from a selection that covers all aspects of business management.

Year in industry

You spend a year working between your second and final year – we have a Placement Officer who can give advice and guidance. In previous years, students have spent their year in industry with:

  • Chase Anderson
  • Cummins Power Generation
  • Deloitte
  • Enterprise Rent-A-Car
  • General Electric
  • IBM
  • KPMG
  • Microsoft
  • Lloyds Banking Group
  • Unilever.

Students have also worked in corporations in Athens, Dubai, Ghana, Hong Kong, Mauritius and Shanghai.

Spending a year in industry gives you invaluable workplace experience, which greatly enhances your employment prospects and also helps you in your final year at university, allowing you to put your academic learning into a real-world context. 

You have the option to take this programme as a three-year degree, without the year in industry. For details, see Marketing.
