Emmet Daniels
MSc Marketing Practice 2020, Account Executive at Hubspot
"The MSc in Marketing Development Practise (MDP) was the perfect stepping stone between university and the workplace. The one-to-one coaching, office environment and real-world experience working with clients all made for an incredibly immersive learning experience. However, the value of the MDP goes far beyond what you learn in the classroom. I graduated from the MDP more confident, professional and self-aware, which allowed me to hit the ground running in the workplace. I also left with some friends for life!"
Leah Bashford
MSc Marketing Practice 2020, Junior Brand Manager at Danone
"My year as a marketing advisor is something I will never forget. I came away with invaluable skills and experience, a greater knowledge of marketing from putting theory into practice and gaining real experience working alongside clients. I am grateful for the memories, friendships and relationships I have built and the guidance and support from top class lecturers and industry-expert managers."
