Marketing Analytics
Entry requirements
Our standard postgraduate entry requirement is a second-class honours degree (2:2 or above) from a UK university, or an equivalent international qualification.
As this course is quantitative in nature, some prior quantitative experience or skills will be beneficial. For applicants with limited experience in statistics, an introductory module, Introduction to Analytics and Business, will provide you with grounding in the quantitative skills needed.
Applications are reviewed on their individual merits and your professional qualifications and/or relevant work experience will be taken into consideration positively. We actively support and encourage applications from mature learners.
