Manchester Metropolitan University – The Digital Marketing Degree Apprenticeship

We launched our Digital Marketer Degree Apprenticeship last year, and it’s gone amazingly well.

Degree Apprenticeships can be used to upskill existing members of staff, as well as attracting new talent.

All costs are eligible for levy funding. The maximum cost to even non-levy payers is £1050, spread over four years.

We have been extremely impressed with the success and achievements of our first cohort of Digital Marketer apprentices. The feedback is that apprentices (some already in senior roles) have really progressed, and have been stretched beyond their existing qualifications and ways of working.

They’ve grown in confidence, and are already making changes in the business, informed by their new knowledge from the programme, giving great return on investment.

The year 1 cohort includes people from digital and marketing agencies, manufacturers, and public sector colleagues who are transforming the way they serve and communicate with their communities. This sector mix gives a rich experience and learning environment as apprentices learn from each other, as well as from the lecturers.

Digital Marketer Degree Apprenticeship graduates will be fully equipped to lead on the creation and execution of digital marketing strategy. They will be prepared for the challenges of operating in a rapidly changing digital world, benefiting from real-world best practice combined with innovative academic thinking.
