Arden University

Course notes say you can earn six DMI certificates linked to eligible modules and get free DMI student membership with access to short courses, webinars and toolkits. After the foundation year, assessments simulate real tasks such as building social media strategies and pitching campaigns, and an internship programme is built into Level 5. Full-time weekday teaching is listed in Birmingham, at Holborn and Stratford in London, and in Manchester. The next intake is December 2026. Foundation entry asks for 45 Level 3 credits from the past three years, or two years of work experience evidenced with a CV and reference.
