Marketing Innovation and Technology

Although Covid-19 remains a global threat, we’re still in a period of extraordinary economic growth. Part of that growth story has to do with the extensive and far-reaching penetration of technology in all sectors of the economy.  It’s allowing us work, shop and even run businesses, or teams, effectively from home.  Technology is not merely an industry unto itself; it’s the primary force of disruption in every industry across the globe. In MInT, you’ll learn how and why technology can transform every sector and deliver growth and opportunity.

The BSc in Marketing, Innovation and Technology degree prepares you for a career in the marketing of high technology products and services. You’ll learn to anticipate and respond to consumers’ needs, and to develop and market new innovations in a way that makes sense in today’s marketplace. 

By the end of your four years you’ll have gained:

1. An in-depth understanding of marketing techniques.
2. A core grounding in science and the potential future impact of technology.
3. Knowledge of design-led innovation, including Design Thinking and Web Design.
4. An understanding and familiarity with the start up sector and the entrepreneurial mindset.
5. An understanding of the processes involved in new product development.

You’ll also do a one-year INTRA work placement in Year Three, which will give you the unique opportunity to experience the relevance of your study in the real business world.
