Marketing
What is Marketing? From the products you buy to the services you use, every media message you receive and the choice you make has been influenced by marketing forces. Marketing is about understanding your customers, your competitors and what’s happening in the market.
This enables you to tap into key trends, identify something that people or businesses want, develop a product that meets this need at the right price, and promote the product in the right place and at the right time, all through a sustainable and responsible lens.
Marketing is an industry that must always be future-facing and purposeful. Many of its best professionals are digitally savvy and embrace technological change, adopting tools and techniques that will help them to drive sales, deliver leads, or increase engagement.

Delivery & structure
Our exam-free, blended learning programmes are taught through a range of activities including classroom-based learning, live webinars, supervised independent learning, case studies, group presentations and applied research, to position you for success no matter your learning style. Each unit is assigned a national level indicator of 4 or 5, indicating the relative intellectual demand, complexity and depth of study, and learner autonomy. At Level 5 the emphasis is on application and evaluation of contrasting ideas, principles, theories and practices, greater specialisation in the field of study, and an increasing independence in systematic enquiry and analysis.
Blended learning requires access to a laptop or desktop computer. You also need to use word processing software such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint.
Assessment & feedback
Assessment is both summative and formative. Primarily, summative assessment is intended to identify what has been learned (assessment of learning) and therefore the assessed mark counts towards the module grade awarded.
Formative assessment is intended to help students to learn (assessment for learning) and provides opportunities for students to identify their strengths and weaknesses, focus on areas they need to work and improve, and identify how to achieve improvements. Formative assessments will take place at several intervals during the course. Feedback, both formal and informal, is maximised throughout the programme and may take the form of individual tutorials, presentations, essays, shows and degree exhibits, portfolios, and module assessments. Students are given regular feedback/feed-forward through interaction in the studios in the development of projects, tutorials, group crits, and practice presentations.
Progression
Completing the HND in Business: Marketing will equip you with skills and knowledge around marketing principles, customer communications, and more.
A key progression path for Pearson Higher National Diploma (HND) students is to the second or third year of a degree or honours degree programme, depending on the match of units between those studied on the Level 4 and Level 5 Diploma and the chosen HE institution.
