Bachelor of Business (Honours) Digital Marketing

The digital economy is booming and with more and more brands putting a focus on digital marketing, demand for suitably qualified candidates is increasing rapidly. As a result, digital marketing is one of the few sectors where demand for graduates is exceeding supply. In fact, the digital skills gap is so great, the European Commission has estimated that there are 900,000 unfilled digital jobs across Europe. It is clear that a qualification in digital marketing will go a long way towards future-proofing your career and increasing your job security. Digital marketing is what we call a ‘broad church’ discipline which means it caters for a wide variety of interests and abilities. Among the most in-demand digital marketing skills currently are digital advertising, content and digital asset creation, content strategy and social media marketing. This is great news for creative types! For those who veer more towards the analytical end of the spectrum, hard skills, including advanced data analytics, never go out of fashion.
