The University of California, Irvine, has made its postgraduate qualifications in Social Media and Digital Marketing available in Australia.

Postgraduate qualifications in Social Media and Digital Marketing from the University of California, Irvine (UCI), will now be available to Australian graduates via the Australian College of Marketing.

The qualifications will be the first postgraduate qualifications focussing exclusively on social media and digital marketing to be offered in Australia.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Social Media will be running from September this year, and the Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Marketing will be available shortly after.

The coursework has been developed in conjunction with the Digital Marketing Association in the UK and the Australian College of Marketing.

“These postgraduate qualifications have been developed with working marketers in mind. They are delivered through supported distance learning, which provides the flexibility to fit study around other commitments,” says Australian College of Marketing principal Emma Blackburn.

“However, unlike most distance programs, a strong structure and the availability of local tutors keeps you on track to achieving a rigorous postgrad awarded by a leading university.”

The Australian College of Marketing is currently taking enrolments for the first intake onto the course.

Dion Clegg, past student and managing director of the Customised Group in Perth, says “studying with the Australian College of Marketing has been a turning point for my business. A massive thanks to the ACM team for the great course content along with heaps of encouragement and support. The new Postgraduate Diploma is something I will definitely be doing to hone my digital skills even further.”

The University of California, Irvine, opened in 1965 and is now ranked the 14th best public university in the USA and the best comprehensive university under 50 years old in the world.
