You will become accomplished in applying the principles and processes of Integrated Marketing Communication and understand the core components of this exciting profession.
FUNCTIONAL SKILLS
By the halfway stage, you will have played roles and key functions in business strategy/planning and formulation (Get-To-By), agency/project management, communications channel/media management (Bought/Owned/Earned Media), Research, Trends and Trending, Behavioural Economics. You will play specific roles in team situations, the most effective form of learning, leading to brand building, target marketing and building permanently acquired skills.
CAREER ORIENTATION
Networking with prospective employers, preparing for interviews and personal guidance are the final steps to making students work-ready. Students also have the opportunity at the end of the course to demonstrate individual, leading edge prowess in an Industry Project of their choice for which they get real world feedback from top industry players.
YOU AND THE COURSE
You will work hard. You'll have fun and make lasting friends. You'll gain a wealth of real world, practical experience. You'll be surprised at what you will accomplish. You'll need to be self-motivated and have a strong work ethic because the pace is dynamic, fluid, and urgent. If you've made the correct career choice, however, you'll enjoy and savour every day because the work environment reflects the school's philosophy that joy is attained though accomplishment. After you graduate, you'll be part of a very select, accomplished group; work-ready and eager to hit the road running.
