The survey interviewed more than 330 marketers, gauging their views on the value of a university education.
It found just 39% would have gone to university faced with today's costs of university education. The remaining 24.7% of the sample said they did not know.
On average, marketing graduates earn an average salary of just £18,000 (according to the Association of Graduate Recruiters).
Graduates entering other professions – such as the law and banking – can command higher earnings.
The survey also found that executives from other professions were against the idea of attending university today – 23% of lawyers, 34% of accountants and financial services professionals, and 35% of people in HR.
EMR said the coalition Government's increase of tuition fees to its £9,000 ceiling, combined with the cost of loans and lost income from not being in work, meant that the cost of a three-year course stood at £88,700.
