Marketing is researching the target audience, advising clients how to develop their products to suit consumer desires, determining product pricing structure, selecting effective channels through which to communicate with clients, developing and implementing strategies.
At undergraduate level, marketing degrees are available both as a BA (Bachelor of Arts) or a BS (Bachelor of Science). The main difference between a Marketing BA and a Marketing BS is that a BA involves more of an emphasis on humanities, while BS focuses more on the scientific, mathematical and technological aspects of the subject.
Marketing degrees are usually taught using a combination of lectures, tutorials or seminars, case study analyses and market research projects, with coursework and exams used for assessment. Some marketing degrees also include the opportunity to gain professional accreditations from organizations such as the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), the Communication Advertising and Marketing Foundation (CAM), PRINCE2 and Google Analytics.
