Highlights

Studying advertising means learning how to create and spread a message to promote and sell products and services. This is an introduction to advertising theory and practice and offers a series of key insights into how and by whom advertising is created. This speciality centres on the figure of the art director, who is responsible for communication strategy at a visual level. Together with the copywriter, they turn the concepts and contents of the message into images, from a TV ad to a magazine advert. They study the visual, graphical and typographic side to communicating a product or service.

The first year centres on acquiring basic concepts in design, project culture and methodology, key to laying the foundations for working in a multidisciplinary approach. In the second year, students increase their technical, cultural and project knowledge and expertise and start to specialise in their chosen area. In the third year they concentrate on their specialist area and in the fourth year they produce their thesis project, which should open doors for them into the business world, together with in-company work experience.

Job opportunities include: advertising agencies, graphics and/or multimedia studios and creative departments in companies, and can work freelance.

This course is in the process of being recognised by the Catalan and Spanish governments as a Degree in Graphic Design, Advertising speciality.
