Studying Marketing at UNSW

Marketing is offered as an undergraduate major by the Australian School of Business (www.business.unsw.edu.au) for students enrolled in commerce, economics, services marketing or social sciences degrees. The Marketing major is designed for students who are interested in pursuing a career in marketing, advertising or public relations and aims to develop specialist marketing knowledge. This major particularly complements business studies such as Finance, Information Systems, Management and International Business.

Students with above average grades in their Marketing courses are invited to join the Honours program, requiring an additional year of study. An Honours year adds extra value to an undergraduate degree and is highly regarded by employers.
