Marketing Communications program structure

Bachelor’s degrees in marketing communications are studied over a minimum of three years and are usually offered as a BA. However, it’s not uncommon for universities to run BSc courses that have a more mathematical and analytical focus.

Some undergraduate programs last four years because they integrate an additional 12-month placement during the third year of study. Placements are an invaluable way to gain industry insight and test out future career paths.

Bachelor’s programs in the US also require four years of full-time study because they follow the liberal arts model of education. You’ll work on your general education in your freshman and sophomore years, before focusing on marketing-specific courses for the final half of your degree.

If you’re still hungry to learn more, you might consider pursuing a postgraduate qualification. Master’s programs normally last one or two years, whereas a PhD can take up to seven years to finish.

Your timetable will mainly consist of lectures, seminars and tutorials. Guest presentations from industry experts and field trips to relevant companies might also feature.

The exact content of your marketing communications program will depend on the university and country you choose, but most will cover these key areas:

  • Principles and practices of marketing communications
  • Consumer and audience behavior
  • Digital marketing
  • Marketing strategy and implementation
  • Contemporary debates in marketing communications
  • Marketing communications in a global context
  • Marketing communications campaigns in practice
  • Brands and branding
