BSc (Hons) Digital Marketing in this online, part-time version is studied from home, so it fits around a job in retail, hospitality or admin where you might already handle a company’s social feeds. According to the university's course information, the Digital Marketing Institute accredits it, and the Chartered Institute of Marketing accreditation is still being pursued rather than confirmed. Remote learners still get the internship element at Level 5 and the DMI membership benefits. No campus timetable applies to this course. The next intake is November 2026. You qualify with two A levels plus three GCSE passes at C, or, failing that, two years of professional employment shown through a CV and a referee. Remember that distance learners normally get tuition funding but not living-cost support. AF Education’s advisers guide England-resident UK home students through Student Finance England without charge.
