What you will learn

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.

QUT's Master of Business has been redesigned to ensure it meets the new quality assurance standards set by the Australian Qualifications Framework for masters by coursework programs. The learning outcomes of the course have been refreshed to provide you with a more engaging and real world learning experience.
