About Digital Marketing (Degree Apprenticeship), BA (Hons) - at University of Portsmouth

Overview

With technology reshaping marketing every day, digital marketing skills are in demand across industries — and need constant development to keep up with the sector. 

This course builds your digital marketing knowledge as you work for an employer, and prepares you to continue developing your skills after you graduate. You'll explore topics like marketing analytics, search marketing, user experience, marketing communications, digital content creation, and more, all of which you can apply immediately in your workplace. 

As a degree apprentice you'll be working for a company as you study, so you'll graduate with years of workplace experience in addition to your degree qualification. And with assessments that focus on applying your knowledge with real-life case studies and live-client projects, this degree gives you the skills and experience you'll need to progress your career and prepare for your future in the industry. 

When you study a degree apprenticeship, you make an agreement with the University and your employer. You employer pays your tuition fees so there is no fee cost to you as the apprentice, and you agree to spend at least 20% of your time at your job studying. 

You'll study mostly through online learning, with both pre-recorded and live sessions so your studying is flexible to suit you, and attend campus for three days per year in either Portsmouth or London depending on where you work. You'll attend one day at the start of each study block in September, January and April.
