What others are saying
I have always been captivated by the world of marketing and the UniSA Business School was the best choice for me. Industry connection has been a great feature of this degree with the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute for Marketing Science, a world-renowned research institute unique to UniSA, bringing industry experience and leading marketing research right into the classroom.
Danielle Talbot
Bachelor of Marketing and Communication
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 – but 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.

Employment: Bendigo and Adelaide Bank
Role: Marketing Manager, Leveraged Marketing
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 yes 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.
