The Creative Advertising exchange programme offers students many ways to build impressive portfolios. It takes place in the 2nd year of the Bachelor Communication and is very much a hands-on course where you directly apply the skills you learn as you go along. Students pursuing the exchange programme will be working in project groups with Dutch students of the Communication major. Together they will be working on campaigns for actual organisations, such as Madam Tussauds, Coca-Cola or Mars. The exchange programme in advertising requires 20 hours of course work a week and is appropriate for students interested in developing a better understanding of advertising and the customer journey, utilizing emerging digital communication technologies.
We believe that today’s students will be communication professionals in ’tomorrow’s world’, with a different set of rules, different opportunities and different boundaries. We educate students for a world that doesn’t yet exist, a world that we can try to imagine, but one that is unpredictable. That’s why we embed a lifelong love of learning to inspire, excite and to engage our students. Fontys Marketing and Communication is a vibrant, inspiring place with professors and lecturers with open minds, that all have a broad background in the communication industry.
