What can you do after this programme?

Noting the increased spend on digital marketing discussed earlier, we are seeing a huge demand for our graduates. Skills shortages and salary hikes can be seen in specialist areas like e-commerce, PPC, SEO and data analysis. Considering Covid and Brexit, Enterprise Ireland has been encouraging businesses who export abroad to go online and enter new markets and reduce dependency on the UK. We expect this will impact marketing recruitment this year as exporting businesses begin to increase their presence online.

Career opportunities for graduates include:

• Digital Marketing Executive

• E-commerce Operations

• Digital Support Executive

• Digital Marketing Specialist

• Marketing and Communication Officer

• Inbound Marketing Specialist

• Senior Digital Client Manager

• Affiliate Marketing Manager

Upon successful completion of this programme, graduates have the opportunity to complete Level 9/10 programmes here at TUS or elsewhere.
