(Including Foundation Year)
Overview
Our BSc Management and Marketing (including foundation year) is open to Home and EU students. It will be suitable for you if your academic qualifications do not yet meet our entrance requirements for the three-year version of this course and you want a programme that increases your subject knowledge as well as improves your academic skills.
Open to UK and EU applicants, this four-year course includes a Foundation Year. From the start of your journey at Essex, you’ll be integrated as a student within Essex Business School for the entire duration of your degree, helping you to feel connected to your subject, lecturers and future classmates from day one. At least 25% of the teaching during your Foundation Year will be delivered directly by the School. You’ll also study academic skills modules designed to help you build confidence and prepare for university-level study. Your Foundation Year won’t just prepare you for university - it’ll help you feel part of your academic community right from the beginning.
To succeed in management and marketing, you must be imaginative, innovative and use your initiative to solve business challenges. You must combine originality with the ability to analyse market data and remain focused on results, even in difficult environments.
At Essex Business School, where this BSc Management and Marketing course is taught, we encourage you to become an independent thinker and act creatively and strategically to help organisations succeed, whatever their challenge.
This course enables you to combine the study of management with the opportunity to develop marketing expertise.

We also develop your practical skills in communication, data analysis and critical thinking.
You explore subjects such as:

- brand management
- business strategy
- organisational behaviour
- international business environment
In year one, you benefit from a general business education, introducing you to accounting and finance as well as management and marketing, giving you the flexibility to follow a range of careers after you graduate.
In your final year, you have the opportunity to put your knowledge into practice by completing an in-depth, independent research project or dissertation which can focus on either management or marketing or combine elements from both as you prefer. This will give you the chance to further develop vital employment skills in areas of research, time management and critical thinking as well as offering you the opportunity to explore what interests you.

One of the reasons I chose to study BSc Management and Marketing because it was a combined degree course. This has allowed me to gain knowledge in both the management and marketing fields of business. I was also impressed by the range of modules there was to choose from in third year that were very interesting as there was a mix of both management and marketing topics, meaning you could choose to go down either route or study a combination of both.

This course allows you to specialise in the areas of both business management and marketing, as well as providing a broad overview of other important topics.
Successful completion of year zero guarantees you entry to the first year of your undergraduate degree course as well as providing you with the necessary academic skills for degree-level study.
In the first year our current students cover the fundamentals that every business manager needs to know and you will be introduced to the specialisation of marketing. However, we are planning some changes to our first year and we'll be tailoring it more closely to your chosen course. In second and final year your compulsory modules will provide a deep understanding of management and marketing, while your optional modules will allow you to follow these themes further or to explore other areas.
We offer a flexible course structure with a mixture of core/compulsory modules, and optional modules chosen from lists. Please be aware that we are planning changes to our first year to make it more relevant to your chosen course.
Our research-led teaching is continually evolving to address the latest challenges and breakthroughs in the field. The following modules are based on the current course structure and may change in response to new curriculum developments and innovation.
We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision for you. We'll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities as described on our website and in line with your contract with us. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to significant disruption, we'll let our applicants and students know as soon as possible.
