Anglia Ruskin launches first online sales degree
Anglia Ruskin University is launching a new sales degree that that can be achieved entirely online.
A first of its kind in the UK, the BA (Hons) Sales undergraduate degree is endorsed by the Institute of Sales and Marketing Management and is based on the university’s taught Sales degree which was developed in partnership with Harrods.
The course will be taught entirely online through Anglia Ruskin’s interactive Virtual Learning Environment and participants will be fully supported by tutors.
As well as the mandatory sales modules, participants will be able to choose from a selection of specialist topics, including Psychology of Sales; Retail Marketing; and Digital Sales and Marketing, depending on their area of professional interest.
Participants will also become members of the ISMM for the duration of their course, with access to quarterly mentoring by a Fellow of the Institute, online resources and the ISMM Sales Success Seminar Programme.
Jan Skene, head of degrees at work at Anglia Ruskin University, said: “We are confident that this first fully online Sales degree will open doors for people to become professional salespeople, without having to compromise their working hours or manage the cost of campus-based study.
“Our BA Sales degree has seen us work successfully with Harrods, ensuring future graduates are of an extremely high standard and are much sought-after by top firms nationally and beyond.”
