Business and Marketing BA(Hons)

The course begins with a focused introduction to the core principles of marketing. We’ll look at brands and the people who buy them. What drives the consumer, and how to market to them. And we’ll take a wider view to see how marketing fits into the business environment.
The business modules on the course enable you to focus on the business issues that you’re interested in. You’ll begin to develop an understanding of just how complex organisations can be, and how individual people, groups and processes can affect a business’s overall performance.
Thanks to our network of contacts in the business world, we’ll give you opportunities to work on live projects.
In your third year we’ll give you the opportunity to take a placement year that could see you working in a business and gaining real world experience. At Huddersfield we always aim to look ahead – after all, we were the first to introduce marketing as an undergraduate degree. You’ll find our Business and Marketing course is equally forward-thinking. By focusing on the latest developments, we aim to give you a good start in your chosen profession.
