You will complete a brand-side placement in year two (a UK PLC brand team, a consumer-goods marketing function or a design consultancy), work on a live UK brand-house project in year three, and produce a dissertation defended in front of a working CIM Fellow. The BSc in Brand Management is available on-campus in central London, fully online with UK / APAC cohort calls, and by distance learning from 2026.
