About the course
The most successful course in Scotland for aspiring creatives
This is the most successful course in Scotland for aspiring creatives. We teach practical skills and an understanding of the industry required for a career in advertising.
The world of advertising is fuelled by bright minds and creative thinkers. It generates millions of messages that reach consumers via an ever-increasing number of channels.
Around 200,000 people are employed in UK advertising, and at its heart are the ‘creatives’. These are the art directors, copywriters, content creators and strategists who are the creative powerhouse of the industry.
This course has been developed in collaboration with the Scottish Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA) and is taught by leading practitioners.

Student Profile
Brodie Childs
“The main reason I decided to do my masters at Edinburgh Napier was because of how vocational it is”
The main reason I decided to do my masters at Edinburgh Napier was because of how vocational it is. I’m 27, I don’t just want a degree, I want a job. That’s something I really like about the course, is that from day one, they say good grades are nice, but we’re aiming to get you a job, we’re aiming to get you a portfolio, connections, and get you straight out into the world of work and straight in to a role.
“I was with a really diverse group of students”
The thing that was a big surprise to me was the really diverse group of students. There were people from many different backgrounds, people working in advertising; people who had come straight out of university; and people like me who hadn’t really been doing anything.
“All of our tutors are people with lots of experience in industry”
All of our tutors, they’re not from traditional academic backgrounds, they’re people with lots of experience in the industry. They give us loads of feedback, they give us advice, and we have a mentorship programme through the university.
“I learnt to manage my workload, to get a little bit done each day”
The toughest part of my masters was just getting used to the workload. If you’ve got a lot of projects on at once and they all have quick deadlines it can be quite challenging. But really, what helped me, was just realising the bigger picture, and just focusing on smaller things - one day I might only get a little bit done, but as long as I get a little bit done each day, that’s good. It’s just the way of approaching each bit, isolating each individual bit and thinking, I can do this in an hour, I can do this in an hour, I can do this in an hour, and then all of a sudden, you’ve done seven hours of work!
