Why Study Advertising & Design?

The Global Media & Comms School

Got big ideas and a bold eye? Advertising & Design is where your creativity turns into impact. Whether you’re crafting a campaign, designing a brand identity, or dreaming up visuals that stop the scroll – this is your playground.

In this field, imagination meets strategy. You’ll learn how to think like a creative, solve problems visually, and communicate messages that stick. From digital ads to motion graphics, packaging to posters – design is the language, and you’ll be fluent.

You’ll collaborate, create, pitch, and produce – and the best part? You’ll graduate with a portfolio that speaks louder than a résumé.
