Our tutors have considerable industry experience spanning marketing communications, brand development, strategy, advertising, art direction and copywriting. They will support you to understand how communications work, so that you can use creative thinking to help brands connect with consumers. Tutors spend time working with students one-to-one, giving constructive feedback, and nurturing creative potential to create business solutions.

Creative thinking sits at the core of our offer. Our approach encourages originality, innovation and experience of first-hand creative challenges developed both in-house and through our industry contacts. We have a focus on employability and helping you to produce the strongest portfolio possible to secure your ideal job.

Graduates usually find employment within marketing communications agencies, working as art directors, copywriters, creative directors, strategists, marketing managers, social media managers, brand planners and account handlers.
