How you’ll study
Online learning environment
The MBA with Marketing is delivered through the university’s Moodle virtual learning environment, combining live and pre-recorded lectures, interactive quizzes, discussion forums, and collaborative group activities. The platform supports a blended approach – you engage with content at your own pace while participating in scheduled seminars and peer discussions that bring your learning to life. Guest speakers and visiting industry leaders are integrated throughout the programme, providing direct insight into current marketing and business practice.
Weekly study commitment
Full-time students should expect to dedicate approximately 35-40 hours per week across directed learning, independent study, and assessment preparation. Part-time students typically commit around 15-20 hours. The programme is structured around modules that balance self-paced learning with interactive, tutor-led sessions, so you can build a study routine that works alongside your professional life.
Assessment methods
Assessment is grounded in real-world application. You will work through case studies based on live business and marketing scenarios, interactive workshops, group assignments, and individual written submissions. Tools such as Mentimeter and live polling are used within sessions to create an engaging, participatory learning experience. The programme culminates in an Applied Research or Consultancy Project, where you tackle a genuine business or marketing challenge and produce work with direct professional value.
Support and feedback
You will receive tailored feedback and guidance from your academic tutors throughout each module. A dedicated student support team is available for academic, technical, and administrative queries. Beyond graduation, Roehampton’s Careers Support Team offers personalised guidance, workshops, networking events, and one-on-one coaching to help you take the next step in your career.
