Two students nominated for Marketing Society STAR Marketing Student of the Year

Two students from the Department of Marketing have been nominated for the Marketing Society STAR Marketing Student of the Year award.   

Leona Wade, studying marketing and business enterprise, and Jude Dudley, studying marketing and economics, have been put forward for the award by marketing lecturer Thomas McAlinden.  

As nominees, Leona and Jude will first take part in Apprentice Day on Thursday, March 19 where they will compete against students from other institutions across Scotland.  The apprentice day involves multiple tasks where students will work in groups to undertake a strategic task, a creative task and a presentation task working on a live brief.   

All students will be assessed on leadership, teamwork, marketing capability and use of marketing insight. 

Last year, undergraduate marketing student Charlotte Jebson was named Marketing Society Scotland's Star Marketing Student for 2025 at the society's annual awards.
