What is unique about our program? • MC130 Master of Advertising is Australia’s only dedicated 144 credit point postgraduate program specialising in Advertising. • Other Australian institutions offer postgraduate programs with a joint specialization in PR/Advertising or Communications/Advertising. None have 12 dedicated advertising courses. • Work-integrated learning is a key focus of the course and there are strong links with industry. • The program focuses on advertising processes and practice, management and strategy. The course includes branding theory, account management, account planning, strategy planning, media planning and agency management.
Program objectives • The Master of Advertising program covers an extensive range of advertising knowledge from academic and professional sources around the world. It is focused on advertising strategy and the management of organisations that implement sophisticated advertising strategies. • The Graduate Diploma program prepares graduates for managing complex advertising campaigns, integrated with other promotional activities such as commercial sponsorship, sales promotion, brand public relations and direct response. Branding theory is central to the program. Account management, account (or strategy) planning, media planning and agency management are the specific professional areas with which you will be required to engage.
