Marketing at Newcastle

tiger1997

Hey,

I'm about to go into my last year of school so I'm about to start applying to Universities. Newcastle is a really big contender for me but I can't decide between two courses of marketing. One is straight Marketing (N500) and the other is with management (NN52). For both courses I would take a year out in the industry but I just can't decided which course would be best as they offer similar things (except obviously one offers management). I'm not really looking to study management but I don't want to miss out if it offers more than just plain marketing. If anyone has any inside info or advice i would really appreciate it as I have to choose pretty soon.
Thanks

Looking at the modules for stage 1 listed on http://www.ncl.ac.uk/undergraduate/degrees/nn52/modules/ and http://www.ncl.ac.uk/undergraduate/degrees/n500/modules/, it looks like first year is exactly the same for both courses. So you won't miss out on anything in first year. I imagine you can change between courses at the end of first year once you've gotten a feel for the different modules and you've decided what you like and what you don't, but it's best to contact Newcastle Uni Business School to double check with them.

Also there's an open day soon at the uni (September 19th), you could go along there and have a chat to some current students and lecturers and get their opinions. You can get more info about that here: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/openday/
