Bachelor of Design - Advertising

This is Canada’s top advertising program through a combo of classes in graphic design, branding, creative copywriting and career-building skills. More than half of students get offered jobs before they even graduate at Canada’s only four-year university advertising program.

In this program, instructors who work in the advertising field will teach you: • Design • Storytelling • Digital • Copywriting • Typography • Layout • Strategy • Consumer behaviours and market research • Art direction • Film • User experience • Public relations

You will learn storytelling from many different points of views. You will be encouraged to challenge tradition and consider different viewpoints and values.

In fourth year, you’ll work in boot camps with real clients and create real campaigns. In the past, students have worked with McCain Pizza Pockets and Sony Playstation. This means you can say you’ve sold a creative concept before even finishing school – a huge advantage when you’re looking for a job.
