Student review [#35066] for MA Advertising
at University of the Arts London - UAL

As a student of media studies studying MA in Advertising I know how difficult it can be for a student to explore and work their way through a dynamic industry that’s exciting yet challenging through and through. However, the University of the Arts London (UAL) was an obvious choice for me when I decided to pursue a post-graduation and here’s why.
-As an international student I definitely sought after credentials and UAL is the 2nd university in the world ranking for art and design
– Most colleges end their semesters with long essays and dissertations, however, UAL’s MA Advertising focused on honing your existing strengths and building a compelling portfolio
– The course promoted studying outside the four walls of your classroom
– Professors and the staff were the first points of contact who aided everyone and anyone
– Live briefs were a crucial part of the course that were used as opportunities to network and communicate with clients in the real world
– Whether it was knowledge, career support, or supplies the resources at our disposal were endless
– Furthermore, the integrated college system allowed students to explore a world other than their specialisation
– The course connected us to an extensive alumni network who solved my many queries and provided referrals whenever necessary
– The weekly assignments kept me on my toes and prompted me to think on cue challenging my creative and critical thinking skills
– The overall structure of the course has helped me enhance imperative skills that’ll aid me in my journey to work as a creative strategist and create adverts which will appeal to a global market
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed every second of my time at UAL and found myself taking shape as an employable professional who can step into the industry and solve business problems.
Lastly, the best part of being at UAL was – it always felt like I belonged here and I was always treated like a professional who was already in the industry and held the ability to produce revolutionary work.
