Course Overview

Graduates can pursue careers in media, marketing, brand management, or public relations. This degree can also be useful in becoming an advertising account executive, market researcher, media planner, marketing executive, or public affairs consultant. We also work and liaise closely with the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), the leading professional organization for marketers in the UK, and have full recognition of this program from them. This allows exemptions to some of their modules if you choose to become a member, and will help to enhance your career prospects. We offer a comprehensive Careers Service to help you advance your career, while our in-house, professional recruitment consultancy, Birkbeck Talent, works with Londons top employers to help you gain work experience that fits in with your evening studies.

General Eligibility

We welcome applicants without traditional entry qualifications as we base decisions on our own assessment of qualifications, knowledge, and previous work experience. We may waive formal entry requirements based on the judgment of academic potential. Applicants will normally be expected to have a grade C or grade 4 in GCSE-level English and mathematics. Applicants who do not hold this level of qualification may be required to carry out a skills audit at a selection evening, which comprises English and mathematics. This audit assesses an applicants potential to cope with, and benefit from, a particular program of study.
