Teaching mixes campus lectures, seminars and workshops with digital engagement, reflecting a fast-moving marketing landscape. Classes run at centres in Derby, Salford (Greater Manchester) and Sunderland, with weekday, weekend and evening patterns available.

Who this course is for
This suits career changers aiming at digital marketing, content or campaign-support work, and mature learners who need flexible class times. It is more specialised than a general business degree.
Entry routes for mature students
Standard entry includes A-levels at CCC/BCD, a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma at MMM, a BTEC Level 3 Diploma at DD, or an Access to HE Diploma with 60 credits (45 at Level 3, at least 45 at merit). Mature applicants without these may qualify with at least 12 months of full-time relevant work experience, assessed through a personal statement, CV and reference.

For eligible courses, a Tuition Fee Loan is paid directly to the university and a Maintenance Loan is paid to you for living costs.

Career and progression
Graduates may look at junior digital marketing, content or campaign-support roles, or further study. Professional marketing memberships are separate. AF Education does not guarantee jobs.
