Lucy Bull, BA (Hons) Marketing
1. Choose a subject that interests you
We offer a range of business courses so you can focus on a topic you're passionate about. Several of our business courses share a common first year too, so you can switch to a different degree if you decide to focus on a different area of business.
2. Gain professional experience
Our links with employers and organisations mean you can take an optional paid placement year with big names like Rolls Royce and Fujitsu, or with local digital agencies like Lead Forensics. Or, you can set up your own business supported by our expertise.
3. Access world-class support
Many of our courses benefit from the Small Business Charter silver award. This shows that our Faculty offers world-class support to students and local businesses. We've held this award since 2015, and were awarded the accreditation for another 5 years in 2021.
4. Build your transferable and business skills
Our business, management and marketing degrees will give you highly sought after skills to open doors to careers across almost every industry and sector at home or abroad, whatever you choose to do after you graduate.
5. Join the UK's most entrepreneurial city
Portsmouth was named the UK's Most Entrepreneurial City 2020 (Instant Offices). Between 2019 and 2020, the number of new business launched in Portsmouth grew by 33%.
