And, with support from the digital teaching team, you’ll explore digital technology and how it impacts marketing.This will be supported by practical exercises on understanding how to plan and deploy modern marketing communications plans and assessing how they have worked using industry standard research tools.You’ll spend some time re-examining theories – we’ll see if it’s changed or been influenced by technology, and debate whether this has altered the roles of marketers and clients and what this means for your career choices.**What are my career prospects?**By the end of the course, you’ll be prepared for a variety of roles, from communications planning, to client liaison, creative development, digital buying and marketing and media consultancy.Recent graduates are working with the WPP, Omnicom, Publicis and Interpublic Group agencies, for Sky and EY consultancy, whilst others have gone on to form their own agencies and client companies.And this degree could take you anywhere.
