Program Overview

This combined degree program is designed to allow students to meet professional accreditation in Marketing, and to complete two separate 6-course plans in Arts.

This degree provides a practical and informative start to a career in the marketing profession, allowing graduates to gain employment in a large and growing area within industry and commerce. Marketing permeates business globally, often providing the basis for business decision making and strategic business management. Specialised studies in marketing, together with a basic knowledge of associated business disciplines may lead to graduates being employed in such diverse careers as advertising, purchasing, community relations, marketing management, export/import management, market research, strategic business planning, product management, promotions management, and so on. The course also provides graduates with added knowledge in the areas of service marketing and international marketing and business, which is significant in the current commercial and career environment.

Students should consider the following points in selecting courses to be studied in a particular year, enabling them to structure their study program so prerequisite courses are completed prior to subsequent advanced level courses:

  • full-time students usually study a maximum of 4 courses per term;
  • part-time students usually study a maximum of 2 courses per term;
  • details of course availability (term offered, internal and distance availability, prerequisites) are at the back of this Handbook, and students must make themselves aware of these.

This course places some emphasis on developing the student’s competencies and practical knowledge of the business applications of computing. Internal students will spend time in computer facilities as part of their regular classes and distance students will need to ensure, when undertaking certain courses of study, they have a high level of access to adequate computer facilities.
