Advertising and Brand Design

"The BA (Hons) Advertising and Brand Design is all about studying to become a professional creative. Our projects encompass all kinds of media, from magazine to social media, radio to TV and from billboards to public events.

It’s also about communication for business and enterprise. We liaise with businesses and look at real problems to solve from the very outset. Our ‘hands on’ projects include design for branding, creative art direction (working with photographers and video students among others), ‘pitching’ your concepts and ideas, marketing strategies and leading innovative new campaigns. This is what we are about.

We can’t promise you an easy ride, but all our ex-students say it’s been an enjoyable one – and they’ve ‘learned loads’. So, if you have been wondering what’s the best way for you to put your creative juices to work, this is the course for you.

The course is spread over three years and is designed to enable you to get the skills you need step by step. Each year has two semesters and we offer you new building blocks in each one. It’s a journey of discovery and you can’t just sit back for the ride, you have to get involved. We believe that to understand things you have to experience them, not just talk about them, so almost 75% of the course is hands-on project work."
