BSc (Hons) Digital Marketing taught face to face on weekdays suits learners who like a classroom and a fixed routine. Five campuses are named by the university: Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, plus Holborn and Stratford in London. The degree is described as vocational, mixing theory with practical tasks; a Level 5 internship programme is part of the structure, and accreditation comes from the Digital Marketing Institute, with CIM recognition described as in progress. It can suit school leavers and adults returning to study who want a direct route into marketing roles without a preparatory year. The next intake is December 2026. You qualify with two A levels plus three GCSE passes at C, or alternatively two years of professional employment backed by a CV and referee. AF Education’s advisers support England-resident UK home students with Student Finance England at no cost.
