Creative Marketing and Visual Communication Master's Degree

The best thing of this university are the professors and the background they have, you can learn a lot about all of them, each one is focus on different marketing areas which is very good to have a wider perspective of being creative and all what it implies. As the program is not long each subject takes around 4 to 5 days, so i will recommend you to don't miss any class because you can miss important details of some specific topic. In my opinion, doing this master helped me and encourage me to develop my creativity and communication skills not just in my professional life but also in my personal life, which for me is really good. Talking about facilities the university is small and has modern furniture and equipment, it is located in a good area and has metro and bus station close by, it doesn't have a cafeteria inside but it has vending machines and a restaurant downstairs. In general personnel that works here is friendly and willing to help when necessary.
