Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from University of East London to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

Students with marketing-specific knowledge will team up to offer a consultancy service to a business client. The team will work with the business to redefine the problem, opportunity or service required. Our students are equipped with skills in marketing research, marketing management, new product development, brand management, advertising practice and any marketing-related role.

Our programme has professional accreditations from Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Insitute of Data & Marketing. The course adopts a unique 'practice-based 'perspective, focusing on the applicability of theory to everyday marketing activities and prepares students for an industry career.
