Summary	Marketing increasingly occurs in a digital world and marketing graduates require specific knowledge and understanding of the impacts that digital technologies have had on marketing practice and consumer behaviour.
Course description	Student feedback repeatedly requested that a digital marketing option be provided on the MSc. Marketing and MSc. Marketing and Business Analysis course. Such digital based courses are provided by all our key Russell group and other competitors. While to date we have adopted a strategy of embedding digital into our other options, it has become clear that the evolution of digital technologies and their application to marketing now warrant a dedicated Digital Marketing optional course... This new course will also complement future developments envisaged as part of the Schools recently launched Dixons Carphone partnership and associated investments planned for teaching and research in Business and Marketing analytics.
