About this course

Business management with digital marketing combines a broad foundation in how organisations are run with a focused specialism in the digital channels through which they now reach, engage, and retain customers. Business management provides the frameworks for understanding strategy, finance, operations, and the commercial challenges organisations face in competitive markets. Digital marketing adds the specific technical and creative skills needed to operate effectively across search, social media, email, content, analytics, and the rapidly evolving landscape of digital consumer behaviour.

At the University of Bedfordshire, this four-year full-time programme includes an integrated foundation year, making it accessible to students from a range of backgrounds who wish to build their business and academic foundations before the main degree. You will study core management subjects alongside digital marketing strategy, SEO, paid media, social media marketing, content creation, data analytics, and customer relationship management. The programme develops both your analytical commercial thinking and your practical digital skills, preparing you for roles in organisations of all types and sizes.

Entry typically requires around 120 UCAS tariff points.

Graduates work in digital marketing management, social media management, content marketing, SEO and PPC roles, email marketing, brand communications, and a wide range of commercial and agency positions in which digital marketing expertise is central. The business management foundation makes graduates adaptable across sectors, and many go on to management roles that span both commercial strategy and digital execution. Postgraduate study in marketing, business, or digital media is also a common next step.
