I would recommend choosing a course with a placement year if you can, as this will add so much to your graduate CV and make you stand out, give you some valuable time to explore a potential career possibly getting your foot in the door for future employment, earn some money as well as do something fun and different for a year.
•
Be prepared to network, be part of a team and make connections. Management with Marketing studies at university level involve a lot of teamwork and group projects and so if you have good speaking and active listening skills, are confident fitting into work groups and potentially taking a leadership position, this will benefit you! Stay connected to your peers and lecturers to start building that professional network, and remember to keep organised as you may have to juggle multiple projects at a time!
•
Understand the basics - try to show in your application your interest in the subject and course. Anything you can watch (eg TEDs) or read (e.g. books, news, marketing influencers and industry blogs) about current trends, concepts like the 4Ps, business strategy, organisational and consumer behaviour, social media marketing and data analytics would be a good way to show your interest.
•
Explore Business & Marketing Concepts Early – Reading books like Kotler’s Marketing Management or following industry news (e.g., Marketing Week, Harvard Business Review) can give you a head start.
•
Get Involved in Relevant Activities – Joining business-related clubs, taking on leadership roles, or even running a small project (like a social media page) can give you practical experience.
•
Consider Work Experience – If possible, try to gain insight into business environments through internships, part-time jobs, or shadowing professionals.
•
Enhance Your Public Speaking Skills – Marketing and management often require presenting ideas effectively. Participating in debate clubs, public speaking competitions, or even practicing with friends can help build confidence.
•
Develop Analytical & Communication Skills – Marketing involves both creativity and data-driven decision-making, so honing your ability to interpret trends and present ideas clearly will be valuable.
