Middlesex is innovating again to offer a new degree in Advertising, PR and Branding that directly responds to an ever-changing business and technology environment. Our degree was developed with industry partners to provide you with the skills you need to succeed. It responds to the new ways people consume, create and share content in the digital era, and recognises that the creation and management of brands are crucial skills for those working in advertising and public relations.

**Why study BA Advertising, Public Relations and Branding at Middlesex University?**
If you are passionate about working in the media, this degree ensures you gain the skills needed to work in a promotional or communications capacity not only in the creative industries but across the business, charity and public sectors.
At Middlesex it’s not just about the how, it’s also about the why. Learn the practical skills to plan and implement campaigns across different media while developing your critical understanding of the important (sometimes controversial) roles advertising, PR and branding play in our culture and politics.

At the heart of the degree is a focus on branding and digital media and you can expect to be taught by award-winning academics as well as professionals with extensive industry experience. Our team have recently produced ground-breaking research on collaborative production in the creative industries, analysed consumer engagement for Google, Louis Vuitton and UBER, as well as providing place branding consultancy and PR advice to a range of external clients. You will work in cutting-edge digital workshops and TV studios to produce adverts and promotional content across all media. You'll emerge with a portfolio of work and the resources and skills necessary to develop your own online brand, enhancing your employability. What’s more, the research, planning and communications skills you’ll be developing are of high value not only for a career in the media but across a wide spectrum of professional, public and private sectors.
