Digital Markting at UWS


About the programme It has been developed in response to the realisation that digital marketing is now established as a priority for local, national and international businesses because of the ever increasing digitalisation of consumer activities, and the business opportunities that arise in a dynamic online marketplace. The E-consultancy/ Marketing Budgets 2013 Report revealed that 71% of global businesses plan to increase their investment in digital marketing compared with 20% looking to increase their offline marketing spend. The surge in demand for digital marketing professionals from companies looking to quickly step up their game in this space has inevitably led to a skills shortage across the marketing sector. The UWS MSc in Digital Marketing will help address the skill shortage in this essential sector. The MSc in Digital Marketing will have a strong focus on the practical requirements currently expected of digital marketing graduates, underpinned by relevant academic theory. Assessments based on live case studies will provide students with insights into the issues facing companies and enable them to achieve a high level of employability in the digital marketing sector. In order to achieve the above aims, there are three distinct routes within the MSc in Digital Marketing: Route 1 - this route is intended for students with little or no prior grounding in the digital marketing. Route 2 - this route is intended for students who have already obtained a qualification in digital marketing. Route 3 - this route is a work-based learning pathway and is intended for students already in paid employment within the sector looking to enhance their understanding. Students undertaking this route will complete one third of the programme in the workplace, with the remaining modules delivered via a blended learning approach designed for maximum flexibility when completing the course. Your learning Teaching methods will incorporate many aspects of the digital world and the programme will utilise both online and offline marketing tools to deliver module material. The learning experience is intended to be interactive, flexible and student centred, thus deviating from traditional teaching approaches. The programme makes use of a range of practically focused assignments, such as case studies, portfolios, presentations and other assessment formats which will replicate the types of practice graduates will be expected to undertake in their typical working life upon completion of the programme.
