Foundations in Digital Marketing
You’ll start with modules like Consumer Psychology and Research and Digital Customer Experience, where you’ll understand how people interact with digital content, why they engage, and how technology influences consumer behaviour. This gives you the groundwork to approach digital marketing in a practical, data-driven way.
