Masters (Coursework)
The real world of advertising involves strategy, planning and creativity. If you are looking to freshen up your skills or move into advertising, QUT offers you a choice of programs with an opportunity to do both.
Advertising professionals communicate skilfully through various media the products and services offered by an organisation. Informational and often considered a persuasive marketing tool, advertising may be used in combination with other marketing tools, such as promotions or publicity. The strategic advertising major focuses on the management of the advertising function, including understanding consumers, creative and media strategy, campaign planning and research.
