You’ll learn to harness new tools and technologies to influence business strategies, optimise platforms, track performance and build campaigns that cut through the noise, engage new audiences and help brands achieve their objectives and hit their targets.

You’ll dive into the fundamentals of digital marketing strategy, consumer behaviour and data analytics – using industry-standard tools such as Google Analytics, Semrush and Brandwatch, and statistical software like SAS and SPSS.

In your final term, you’ll choose between a written dissertation and live consultancy project – teaming up with businesses and working with real data to analyse and optimise digital marketing strategies, boosting engagement on web and social media.
