Normally a university degree in Social Sciences, Arts, Humanities and other relevant disciplines with a minimum of 2:1 standard from a UK university, or an equivalent academic qualification from a similar non-UK institution is required. This programme assumes no prior knowledge of marketing, and is therefore less suitable for applicants with a first degree in marketing.
