Creative Communications

Diploma

Essential marketing theory plus hands-on design skills … this course has it all!

Course overview

Good communications - whether the art of persuasion or the power to inform - is arguably the single most important skill in commercial life.

The Creative Communications Diploma combines a number of complimentary disciplines into a single highly effective package of training. Beginning with a study of the principles of marketing, the course moves on into a detailed examination of advertising and public relations theory and practice. This includes hands-on training in graphics presentation and design skills such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign on specialist graphic design workstations. Creative writing skills are also covered.

Progression pathway

All modules lead towards the appropriate Open College Network (OCN) Level 4 certification and for those students who wish to continue their studies the course also offers pathways to further degree level study at selected British Universities.

What the students' say…

Christie Rigg, Brighton, United Kingdom

In an attempt to support myself financially at University I decided to first work for a while and save money. A 'while' became a year, then 3 years - until I was 22 with no real job prospects, what next? I completed a one year diploma course at Hove College and now have a wonderful job that has allowed me to capitalise on the skills I have learnt. Further more, for the first time I feel really confident about the future!
