Accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM)
Develop in-demand skills as a talented digital and social marketing professional with our CIM accredited Digital Marketer Degree Apprenticeship, based in Peterborough. Study for an honours degree in digital and social media marketing while you work, with no tuition fees.
Designed to develop in-demand, practical skills and knowledge in Digital and Social Media Marketing, underpinned by fundamental business and marketing principles, this course is ideal for anyone interested in or working in digital marketing and social media.
It will equip you to respond to ever-changing digital challenges and innovations, to create effective and successful cross-channel campaigns, and seize opportunities in globally competitive markets.
An apprenticeship is a job with training, combining practical experience with academic learning.
At least 20% of your contracted working hours will be classed as 'off-the-job'. This time will be dedicated to developing the knowledge and skills needed to meet the requirements of the apprenticeship, and therefore is not part of your usual work duties.
The off-the-job learning will be delivered through online University-led learning sessions and activities, one-day workshops, and practical learning experiences in your usual work setting.
The off-the-job learning for our Digital Marketer Degree Apprenticeship is delivered on our ARU Peterborough campus. You will be on campus for one day every week.
You will be assessed at the end of each module you undertake (on-programme assessments) which will contribute towards the final award of your qualification.
You will also undertake an End Point Assessment (EPA) to complete your apprenticeship.
The EPA for this apprenticeship is integrated into the final on-programme assessments. Therefore, on successful completion of your degree, you will also complete the apprenticeship.
The degree is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) which offers additional membership benefits beyond graduation.
