Course Summary

The PGDip in Promotional Media: Public Relations, Advertising, and Marketing crosses the formalised boundaries established between media, public relations, marketing, and advertising.

You will explore contemporary issues in the fields of PR, Advertising, and Marketing, and develop techniques for analysing promotional media texts.

This PGDip will also equip you with specific skills that will provide opportunities for career enhancement. You will develop critical and cognitive skills in analysing and interpreting developments in the PR, advertising, and marketing sectors, learn to apply your knowledge and insights to new areas and projects.

You will be encouraged to seek work experience in relevant institutions during the programme, although these are not compulsory and will not be organised by Goldsmiths.

You will also develop specialist 'routes' by choosing option modules, and provided with access to contemporary industry activity and case studies to gain an understanding of how your diploma can be used in a professional context.
