What you should know about this course
What you will study
Year 1
The first year provides a broad range of skills and introduces students to audiences – you are rarely talking to yourself in advertising. It introduces you to briefs, idea generation, strategic thinking, visualization, working in teams, working across media, materiality, film process, presentations and to a variety of media theories and issues of identity and representation.
Year 2
The second year allows students to personalize their degree more by tailoring practice-based modules. You start to go into M&C Saatchi in rotations for mentoring on live advertising projects and delve deeper into branding and content. Consumer Culture asks you to think deeply about consumption, sustainability and commerce.
Year 3
The third year launches students into a more professional arena. You learn to think about the wider creative team and how to brief them and how their skills shape an idea in Black Book, where you also present your body of work. You devise and project manage an Advanced Project based in a significant body of research and explore the potential of mediated environments and future-facing technologies in Brand Worldbuilding.
