What others are saying
My marketing degree gave me an insight into a great number of areas related to marketing, from business management to communications, public relations and even law. Developing an understanding of these professions was beneficial in a number of ways and has helped my career working at a large national organisation greatly. Marketing is an amazingly dynamic field, and if you’re considering it – dive in. There’s something for everyone.
Terri Feil
Bachelor of Marketing and Communication
Marketing Manager (Wealth) | Bendigo and Adelaide Bank
Studying exposes you to different industries and topics that you may not have had previously. It opens your eyes and mind to other possibilities. Really understand what your strengths are before taking the next step, by matching what you’re good at with what makes you feel good - this will help you be successful in your career. Careers are not linear, they bounce around depending on where the opportunities lie. Say yas to opportunities even if they’re outside your field! We look for individuals who can build rapport quickly, have strong relationship skills, and adopt a growth mindset. Communication skills both verbal and written are also important, as is the capability to influence.
Susan Frangakis
UniSA Marketing graduate
Head of Business Delivery, People & Culture | Bendigo and Adelaide Bank
Our marketing degrees enabled us to build our brand with a strong framework and understand the power of networking, which we continue to use in our day-to-day operations. We can’t stress enough how important relationship building is in business.
