The BSc Marketing (including foundation year) is available to both Home and EU students. This program is ideal if your current qualifications don't meet the entry criteria for the standard three-year course, offering a pathway to build both subject expertise and academic capabilities.
Spanning four years, this course begins with a foundation year (Year Zero), followed by three additional years of study. Your foundation year includes four subject-specific modules alongside mandatory English language and academic skills training. Year Zero takes place at our Colchester Campus, with subsequent years based at our Southend Campus.
From day one, you'll join Essex's vibrant global community, studying at the UK's most internationally diverse campus university.
Upon successfully completing Year Zero through our Essex Pathways Department, you'll transition to Essex Business School to finish your degree.
This hands-on marketing program blends theoretical knowledge with practical applications, including interactive projects, teamwork, and business simulations to address contemporary marketing challenges. We'll enhance your creative thinking, analytical abilities, and strategic decision-making skills to excel in dynamic, digitally-driven global markets.

Qualification Requirements
All applications for degree courses with a foundation year (Year Zero) will be considered individually, whether you
think you might not have the grades to enter the first year of a degree course;
have non-traditional qualifications or experience (e.g. you haven’t studied A-levels or a BTEC);
are returning to university after some time away from education; or
are looking for more support during the transition into university study.
Standard offer:
Our standard offer is 72 UCAS tariff points from at least two full A-levels, or equivalent.
Examples of the above tariff may include:
A-levels: DDD
BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma: MMP
T-levels: Pass with E in core
For this course all applicants must also hold GCSE Maths at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent). We may be able to consider a pass in Level 2 Functional Skills Maths where you cannot meet the requirements for Maths at GCSE level. However, you are advised to try to retake GCSE Mathematics if possible as this will better prepare you for university study and future employment.
