It’s designed specifically for final year students who are studying numerically or analytically-orientated degree courses or modules, and whose skills are complemented by a flair for business or creativity with numbers. They’ll learn direct from data marketing experts, try their hand at practical marketing projects and get the chance to tackle a real life marketing brief. They’ll also be introduced to industry VIPs whose advice and mentoring will give a priceless boost to their employability, and who can open the door direct to the jobs. Last year’s Data Discovery graduates also had great fun doing it!
