Program description
The Marketing, Communication, and Advertising Specialization provides a comprehensive examination of the commercial dimensions of media, marketing, communication, and advertising. Alongside acquiring knowledge of the commercial aspects of media and media production, you will explore many media and communication strategies, as well as numerous media creation techniques, positioning you as creators of advertising and marketing campaigns rather than simple commentators on these subjects.
This specialty distinguishes itself from a conventional business approach to marketing by its emphasis on practical coursework and experiential learning. You will acquire knowledge of media design and processes, enabling you to apply these talents in the development of advertising and marketing campaigns. You will engage in authentic, live projects, evaluating your works with a public audience, assessing audience engagement, obtaining real-time feedback, and making necessary improvements. Your whole work during the program is compiled in your own portfolio, ensuring you are job-ready and distinguishing you from your peers by graduation.
