What marketing and communications graduates do in the UK

The largest group is digital and performance marketing, with work centred on campaigns, customer journeys, websites, search, paid media, CRM and performance data. Brand and product marketing roles focus on positioning, launches, customer loyalty, sales enablement and making products or services clear to target audiences.

Content and social media roles involve planning, filming, editing and publishing content, often for short form video and digital channels. Communications and PR roles include media enquiries, reputation work, internal news, stakeholder communications, events, press monitoring and coordinating messages across teams.

  • Digital and performance marketing: measure activity, investigate results and improve campaigns or customer journeys.
  • Brand and product marketing: shape positioning, launch products and support growth through customer focused campaigns.
  • Content and social media: create visual and written content, manage channels and engage audiences.
  • Communications and PR: handle media and internal communications, monitor coverage and support reputation.

What employers ask for

The descriptions mention campaign planning, marketing analytics, CRM and funnel data, web and intent data, SEO, paid media, digital content, social media reporting and audience engagement. They also ask for practical content skills such as filming and editing short form video, writing copy, building presentations and creating content plans.

Requirements vary by opportunity. Some placements ask for current undergraduate study, while the GSK placement specifies a relevant degree and at least two completed years without having graduated. The Amazon apprenticeship asks for GCSEs including maths and English, and some roles value research, stakeholder communication, media handling, financial administration and careful attention to detail.

  • Software and systems named include Jira, CRM platforms, ad technology and digital analytics environments.
  • Useful evidence includes campaign evaluation, website checks, social performance reports, media monitoring, content production and clear recommendations.
  • Some descriptions specify study status or qualifications, so check whether the opportunity is for an undergraduate, graduate or entry level applicant.

Applying as an international student

Graduate roles are relatively few within this field, so internships, placements and apprenticeships can be important ways to build UK experience. A role asking for a little experience may still suit a strong graduate if you can show relevant projects, campaign results, content work, data analysis or communication skills from university, volunteering or part time work.

An employer holding a sponsor licence does not mean that a particular vacancy will provide sponsorship. Read each advert carefully and ask the employer whether the role can support your circumstances. Check the Graduate visa route and Skilled Worker rules on GOV.UK, and confirm that your course, job and immigration position meet the current requirements before applying.
