MSc Strategic Digital Marketing is a master’s course delivered online on a part-time basis, so it can fit around a marketing, sales or communications job. The university's course information keeps to the award, subject, mode and intake and does not list modules, so AF Education does not describe content beyond that; ask us for the current module outline. Entry noted for this course is a UK bachelor’s degree at 2:2 or above, or an HND, HNC or DipHE with three to four years of strong professional experience including managerial or supervisory responsibility; at least five years of relevant managerial experience may also be considered without formal qualifications. The next intake is November 2026. If you are still choosing between levels, compare it with undergraduate digital marketing courses first. AF Education helps England-resident UK home students with Postgraduate Master’s Loan applications to Student Finance England.
