Course Details

This dynamic programme in Advertising, PR and Branding 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.

Middlesex University Dubai was awarded ‘Best Media Centre’ in the region at the Forbes Middle East Higher Education Awards 2019.

This innovative course explores a broad range of subjects and practices within the fields of advertising, PR and branding, from creative advertising and promotional video production to social media PR and place branding. You will learn about the traditional differences between paid, earned and owned media, but also the ways in which brand communications are transforming this media landscape.

This degree brings together advertising, public relations and branding into an integrated curriculum. You will learn qualitative and quantitative research methods, including digital data analytics, to generate insights into consumer behaviour. These insights will inform the design, development and pitching of creative work and campaigns, which will see you producing strategy documents and promotional media, including social media content, adverts, events and videos, to help build your portfolio.

There is also a dedicated work placement opportunity in Year Two, which provides a launch pad for building your professional network and experience. Our campus puts you within easy reach of Dubai's Media City, and our students have secured placements with a range of companies, including agencies such as Ketchum RAAD Middle East, Edelman, Havas PR and DNG Events. You will be empowered to graduate with the skills, portfolio of work and industry connections that employers demand.

Our tutors include academic researchers, journalists, editors, and PR and advertising experts, who will support your development and help you to build industry-specific, transferable skills. You will benefit from a range of media-related events, including the Dubai Film Festival and the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature. Our students have interned at these events, participated in competitions there and won awards arranged by these organisations.
