Certificate in Pre-University Marketing
This well-established programme is one of the best QQI Level 5 pre-university marketing courses in Dublin for students who wish to secure a 1st year place in a University Marketing degree. Covering a range of marketing related modules including: Marketing practice, Behavioural Studies, Economics and Digital Marketing, students graduate with the skills needed to progress to a 3rd Level business or marketing degree. Here’s what our students say:
“…Choosing the Pre-University Marketing course at Rathmines was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It gave me so much more than I expected. The course helped me build a strong foundation in business and marketing, with modules that were both practical and engaging. The tutors were incredibly supportive, always approachable and easy-going, which made learning so much easier. One of the highlights of the year was meeting people with similar interests. I made great friends and genuinely enjoyed coming to college. Thanks to my time in Rathmines, I now feel confident and prepared to take the next step and study marketing more deeply. If I had the chance to repeat this course, I would absolutely do it again. Worth it!“
