University of Warwick

What you'll study

The programme combines core marketing theory with applied practice and quantitative techniques to prepare you for a range of marketing careers. Typical modules cover areas such as marketing strategy, consumer behaviour, brand management, digital marketing and marketing analytics. You will also study research methods and attend workshops on marketing metrics, segmentation, pricing and communication strategy.

Teaching mixes lectures, case studies, group work and practical labs using industry-standard tools. Assessment commonly includes essays, group projects, presentations, exams and a substantial individual project or dissertation that allows you to investigate a marketing problem in depth. Many students work on live briefs with companies or produce data-driven marketing reports as part of their assessed work.

Entry requirements

Successful applicants normally hold a good undergraduate degree from a recognised university (for example a UK upper second-class honours or equivalent). Candidates with substantial relevant work experience, or those with degrees in non-business disciplines, may also be considered provided they demonstrate strong quantitative and written skills.

Applications should include a personal statement outlining motivation and relevant experience, academic transcripts, and references. Warwick Business School may ask for evidence of English language proficiency if your previous degree was not taught in English. Some applicants choose to submit a GMAT or GRE score where it strengthens their application, though these are not universally required.

Career prospects

Graduates move into a broad range of marketing roles across industry and agency settings. Typical job titles include marketing manager, brand manager, digital marketing specialist, marketing analyst, product manager, market researcher and client-side or consultancy roles. The course emphasises data-driven decision making, so many alumni progress into roles that combine analytics and strategy.

Warwick Business School provides dedicated career services, employer events and networking opportunities which help students secure internships and graduate positions with consumer goods companies, technology firms, consultancies, media and advertising agencies, and public sector organisations.
