Our Program
Humber’s Advertising and Marketing Communications diploma program will equip you with promotional writing, presentation and organizational skills, as well as introductory design, basic production and supplier management skills. Courses in advertising, marketing communications, public relations and project co-ordination will give you an understanding of the breadth of employment opportunities.
The program will focus on providing you with skills that will enable you to work with advertising creatives including copywriters, graphic and interactive designers, art directors and suppliers.
The first semester of the program is shared with the two-year Advertising and Graphic Design diploma, the three-year Journalism advanced diploma, the three-year Public Relations advanced diploma, and the two-year Media Communications diploma programs, allowing the flexibility to continue in any of these five programs in second semester.

Humber AdCentre
The Humber AdCentre was launched as a live lab to provide students with real work opportunities before entering the industry.
Instead of just being given just a grade for assignments, students are provided with a chance to work with real clients, on actual accounts, receiving first-hand experience in the field.
Working with established businesses will not only prepare students for the fast-paced excitement of the industry, but will also help develop portfolio work and reference points for interviews.
Curriculum Highlights
The program will focus on providing students with skills that will enable them to work with advertising agencies, copywriters, graphic and interactive designers, art directors and suppliers.
Your Career
Our graduates can find employment in entry-level positions such as advertising traffic co-ordinator, assistant account co-ordinator, junior account co-ordinator and marketing/advertising specialist, co-ordinating the creative activities in advertising departments of small- to medium-sized advertising, design, marketing, and communications agencies including not-for-profit organizations.
Note
This program will be of most interest to Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) graduates and transfer students from other advertising-related programs.
