This course will help you to develop a wide knowledge of the range of business and marketing disciplines, the relationships between them and their application to practice.
Through specific modules, you’ll be taught how to determine the impact of organisational, political, social, technological, cultural and ethical factors on the business and marketing environment.
You’ll examine and prioritise issues associated with management of business and marketing activities in a range of global business, industry and social contexts which will allow you to understand a wide spectrum of opportunities within both the marketing and business world.

With that knowledge, you’ll be able to critically interpret business intelligence and apply knowledge of enterprise management, brands and markets to propose, justify and implement effective business and marketing solutions.
