A COLLABORATION between connected world agency Equator and Strathclyde University is playing a major role in delivering career-ready graduates for the digital marketing industry.
Nearly 150 students recently completed the university’s postgraduate elective course on eMarketing which is supported by Glasgow-based Equator and is part of the wider Masters in Marketing. The collaboration was introduced as part of a strategy by the university to develop more commercially-focused graduates.
The elective course includes employees from Equator sharing real-world expertise with students, delivering lectures and discussions on contemporary digital topics.
James Jefferson, chief creative officer at Equator, said: “The University of Strathclyde has a fantastic reputation for forging relationships with businesses which open its students up to a wide array of opportunities. Its graduates are digital-ready and enthusiastic.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
