Do I need a degree to get into marketing?
Many industry leaders expect candidates to have a marketing degree if they are applying for a marketing role.
Thankfully, a university degree of several years isn’t the only option; a Pitman online course provides the best chance of getting into marketing without a degree. We recommend our marketing training courses to those who are new to the sector as well as those who are keen to expand existing marketing skills.
