Higher-Certificate Course in Marketing, Advertising & PR


Bournemouth Business School International (BBSI), a highly-accredited business and English college in Britain, offers international students the opportunity to learn English in Britain while also studying the concepts and acquiring the skills required for a career in marketing and business. Our Higher-Certificate Course in Marketing, Advertising & Public Relations comprises 30 lessons weekly, is of 24 weeks duration and is carefully designed to enable students at an Intermediate Level in English or above to gain a business qualification, while also gaining a certificate award from the NCFE national awarding body.

Students will develop competent business English and professional communication skills.  Moreover, in the supplementary English-language elements of the course, students will have the option to study different English-language modules and prepare for up to 3 different  University of Cambridge ESOL qualifications: the First Certificate in English (FCE) , the Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) , or the Business English Certificate (BEC) . Alternatively, students can opt to join our ongoing weekly English Language Workshop (ELW) at a language level to suit their needs. The course comprises 30 lessons weekly and is conducted around a busy social and activity programme.

Study Options.
There are 2 study options for this course. For those with a sound Upper-Intermediate level in English, we offer Study Option 1, which enables participants to develop their business and professional skills to a more advanced level of proficiency, while studying a more extensive range of specialised topics related to marketing, public relations and international business. However, for those students with a lower, Intermediate level in English who require more emphasis initially on developing their business English and professional communication skills prior to the introduction of more advanced marketing and business studies, we offer Study Option 2, which builds more gradually in professional intensity and specialisation.

Study Option 1

Designed for those students with a sound Upper-Intermediate level in English or above, Study Option 1 enables participants to develop their business and professional skills to a more advanced level of proficiency.
