What will I learn on this module?
As part of your marketing education, it is vital you develop competencies such as commercial awareness, analytical skills, interpersonal skills, creative thinking, problem solving, communication and time management. This module will prepare you for your degree and the graduate marketplace by equipping you with the skills required to tackle a wide range of marketing problems.
This hands-on module will provide you with an introduction to experiential learning, where you create knowledge through experience. You will work on live business projects and collaborate in teams to develop solutions to business problems. A core part of this process is reflection: appreciating your own skills, how they complement those of other group members and identifying areas for your own future development.
This module will complement ‘Introduction to Marketing’, where you will be focused on learning the core principles of the marketing subject. In this module you will apply these to business cases and also learn research and communication skills that will set you up to tackle future marketing modules.
How will I learn on this module?
The module is supported by a Teaching and Learning Plan which outlines the structure of the sessions. The module’s e-learning portal will provide you with the main module material, consisting of lecture, practical and seminar material, Teaching and Learning Plan, assessment strategy and information on further reading. You will learn through a range of lectures, practicals, seminars, webinars and independent learning.
Lectures will cover main content of the topics, practicals will cover working in team collaboration, creating knowledge through experience, applying and developing solutions to business problems, seminars will blend directed and independent learning to case studies, helping to assess your participation, understanding, from which you will receive formative feedback.
Directed learning will include a range of activities including pre-reading, preparation for practicals, seminars and preparing for presentations and reflection. Independent learning time is set aside for learning activities, self-identified by you, to gain a deeper and broader knowledge of the subject.
You will be able to follow up on the lectures, practicals and seminars through a one-hour weekly webinar with the members of the teaching team and fellow students to reinforce both the practical and theoretical learning of the module.

Support will be provided to you by a Module Tutor and teaching team. A team of academic staff are allocated to practical and seminar groups of about 20 students, providing closer, more personal academic support. The groups are typically based on study programme cohorts, so you will be taught here alongside fellow members from your specific programme. The final aspect of the direct contact support is a 1-hour weekly webinar, where students can link with the module tutor and other members of the teaching team to engage in question and answer sessions on the module materials and assessment brief.
Your module is supported by an e-learning portal, which houses lecture materials, practical and seminar tasks, alongside assessment details and various support facilities such as recordings of certain lectures and details on the module reading list.
You will have a wide-ranging electronic reading list that comprises of various textbooks reinforcing the lecture and seminar inputs. The list will include top academic journals, specific academic journal article, relevant textbooks and other publications which will help to enhance the module content.
Support will be provided to encourage you to become active and independent learners through an experiential approach to the co-creation of knowledge through engagement and enquiry which will prepare you for higher levels of academic rigour.
The module assessment consists of two components which will be communicated at the beginning of the semester. Including mid-term group (presentation) and end of module individual (report) components, both formative and summative, are planned to enhance your knowledge and understanding as you progress through the module.
