B.A (Hons) Creative Advertising with Marketing
A fast-growing area of employment in the creative industries
Blending creative practice with marketing theory, this course develops students’ capabilities and skill sets to enter the exciting world of advertising and marketing. Learning on the course takes a practice, agency-led approach, meaning you will gain an understanding of what is like to work in a real world media and communications landscape
Expanding your knowledge of creative practice, branding and design, you will hear from speakers who are practitioners and experts in their field, attend D&AD (Design & Art Direction) events, and work with your lecturer to identify an optional work placement that allows you to explore your interests. The course is also accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), ensuring you get the skills and knowledge you need to pursue the career you want.
Being based at London South Bank University, you are just a stone’s throw away from the centre of London, giving you access to a fantastic range of galleries, museums and cultural centres that will fuel your creative imagination. London is literally your classroom as you will take trips to iconic locations such the world-leading Tate Modern gallery and The Victoria and Albert Museum of art and design.
We offer the opportunity for all undergraduate Home/EU students to undertake a work placement, internship or work experience while studying a full-time course starting in September 2020.
