Marketing Courses
30 Courses
You make purchasing decisions every day, often without noticing what is influencing them. Marketers do notice, and understanding that influence is the whole point of a career in marketing. Studying marketing teaches you how consumer behaviour works and how to use that knowledge to help a business grow.
Most courses build around the four Ps of marketing: product, price, place and promotion. This framework is known as the marketing mix. It underpins almost everything you will learn, whether you are planning a social media campaign or pricing a new product.
Marketing study also covers plenty of ground beyond the basics. Expect subjects like business fundamentals, digital marketing, audience research and advertising. B2B marketing is increasingly part of the mix too, since businesses now sell to other businesses just as often as they sell to individual consumers.
Australia employs more than 103,100 advertising and marketing professionals, a workforce with a median age of just 36 (Jobs and Skills Australia, 2025). Plenty of school leavers and career changers are building marketing careers right alongside experienced professionals, and there is room for both.
