Y99 Bachelor of Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations

Combines three core marketing disciplines to provide students with the ability to critically analyse, evaluate and compile new communication strategies, to function as skilled communicators, and to establish and manage media relations.

This cross-discipline course further enhances these abilities by allowing students to diversify their creative skills and strategic business management knowledge, as well as gaining the transferable employability skills, including critical thinking, teamwork, communication and problem solving, needed for a successful career.

Marketing professionals are employed by organisations to develop and manage marketing and communication strategies, with advertising and public relations the cornerstone of business communications.

Advertising combines art, science, strategy and communications practice, and has potential applications far beyond employment in an advertising agency. It includes elements of production, marketing, public relations, visual arts, communications research and interactive multi-media to develop and showcase students’ strengths.

Public Relations develops communication in a variety of contexts, researches the effectiveness of communication and plans the strategy behind communication campaigns.

This combination of disciplines in one course gives graduates a competitive career advantage and access to a wide range of industries.
