Advertising and Brand Communications

OVERVIEW

Whatever the brand, whatever the market and whatever the media, successful advertising brings together a combination of creative thinking, commercial awareness and strategic insight.

Combining creative thinking, commercial awareness, and strategic insight, you’ll study topics including behavioural economics, ethics and sustainability, digital communications and data analysis, to develop integrated campaign strategies across both traditional and digital media.

Along the way, you’ll have access to the real professionals – whether as guest lecturers, campaign clients or placement employers. So, by the time you leave us, you’ll be ready to join their ranks in the industry.
