How Are You Taught?

Each module will take 12 weeks to complete. You will partake in a mixture of online and face-to-face teaching sessions.

In total, alongside independent study, each module will involve 170hrs of study.

If you would like further detail on course structure, please contact som-execed@swansea.ac.uk

Please note: The courses are run through the medium of English in collaboration with CIM.

You’ll need to have a minimum of two years’ experience working in the industry at an operational level or a relevant Level 4 qualification to study the Diploma in Professional Marketing. Also, if you have studied at one of our Graduate Gateway Universities you will have gained exemptions from our CIM qualifications, meaning you will only need to complete two modules instead of three to achieve the Diploma in Professional Marketing/Digital Marketing.

To find out if you qualify email qualifications@cim.co.uk

If English is not your first language, you will also need to provide evidence of achieving one of the following English Language qualifications within the last two years: IELTS Academic Module with overall score of 6.5 (each component pass mark must be 6.0 or above) or Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English grade B or above. CIM will consider other equivalent alternatives.
