Creative Communications

Advanced Diploma

Two year HND equivalent course offers strategic creative marketing training.

Course overview

The Hove College Advanced Diploma in Creative Communications combines a huge range of design, creative and marketing skills with a strong business-led focus. It is an ideal career preparation for someone who wants to work in a strategic role in almost any media sector - from marketing, advertising and design to public relations, journalism and new media.

This two year programme is a balanced mix of both practical and theoretical training, offering tuition in everything from Apple Mac based Adobe Photoshop electronic image manipulation through to study of strategic business theory.

The programme is HND equivalent in level, yet our small class sizes combined with College's excellent facilities and uniquely supportive environment enable us to offer flexible entry criteria to talented candidates who lack the A-levels necessary for conventional degree admission.

Progression pathway

In addition, the programme has been designed to mesh with the course requirements necessary for entry into the final year of a Bachelor's Degree in Business Studies at a British University.
