Career Interests

This course is typically suited for people with the following Career Interests. If these interests do not describe you, this course may prepare you for work you may not find satisfying.

Enterprising

Enterprising people like situations that involve using resources for personal or corporate economic gain. Such people may have an opportunistic frame of mind, and are drawn to commerce, trade and making deals. Some pursue sales and marketing occupations. Many will eventually end up owning their own business, or in management roles in larger organisations. They tend to be very goal-oriented and work best when focused on a target. Some have an entrepreneurial inclination.


Creative

Creative people are drawn to careers and activities that enable them to take responsibility for the design, layout or sensory impact of something (visual, auditory etc). They may be atrracted to the traditional artistic pursuits such as painting, sculpture, singing, or music. Or they may show more interest in design activities, such as architecture, animation, or craft areas, such as pottery and ceramics.

Creative people use their personal understanding of people and the world they live in to guide their work. Creative people like to work in unstructured workplaces, enjoy taking risks and prefer a minimum of routine.


Career Progression

Noting the current increased spend on digital marketing there is strong demand for Digital Marketing graduates. Skills shortages and salary hikes can be seen in specialist areas like e-commerce, PPC, SEO and data analysis. Responding to the impact of Covid and Brexit, Enterprise Ireland are increasingly encouraging businesses to develop their online presence, thereby reducing dependence on traditional markets such as the UK. We expect this will further impact marketing recruitment this year and beyond.

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

As a graduate of this programme, you are eligible to be considered for a place on a master’s degree, such as our MSc in Digital Marketing.
