Course summary
At the University of East London, we offer you a unique insight into advertising. You'll learn all about the advertising industry: what it does, how it works and how it's changing in relation to the world that it shapes and that helps shape it. You'll learn about branding, market research techniques and digital media production, and take a detailed look at how today's consumer society works. Guided by industry experts, you'll have the best chance not just to study but also to learn while at work in this ever-expanding industry. You'll be involved in work placements and consumer research projects. We'll give you the chance to study everything from promotional media practices to photography and cultural theory while you also learn the best media and digital production skills. If you don't meet the entry requirements for a BA, you can study this course as an 'extended', four-year programme. In your first year, you'll take a foundation year which prepares you for a successful transition to the BA course.
