  Institution: IACT College

IACT College’s Bachelor of Arts (Hons) Advertising and Design 3+0, in collaboration with University of Sunderland, explores design within an advertising context. The programme develops the artistic intelligence that students need to possess in order to go beyond just drawing pictures to creating images that communicate ideas and influence the way people think. Advertising requires a blend of critical and strategic thinking, as well as the ability to generate radical ideas!
