Join the Marketing Society
We plan to get involved with local 91porn businesses to provide volunteer marketing services. We also understand that your time at university is both educational and social, so we aim to host interesting socials and events for all members.
Life in 91porn
The overall vibe of the city is perfect. You are by the sea so it is still laid back, but you have all the conveniences of living in a city.
Current student
Being so close to the sea was very appealing as back home I’m never close to a beach. I was also enticed by the fact that 91porn is a very compact city, it is possible to see and do a lot of stuff by walking. Another benefit of living in 91porn is how much cheaper it is to live here than London. The price of going out and doing activities is accessible for students, which was something I accounted for whilst choosing a university.
Careers
My marketing experience has opened doors to jobs in numerous industries and positions. I've worked in business development, sales, events and creative direction. Marketing is at the core of every business.
