In this three-year diploma option, students will develop the basic skills required for planning, creating and implementing advertising and marketing communications activities. The Advertising Management option is designed to provide students with a well-rounded understanding of the technical, creative and business aspects of the advertising industry. Students will learn the importance of advertising in the marketing mix while practicing their business, creative and client-servicing skills. The option concludes with on-the-job fieldwork.

Integrative Activity

Integrative activities are included in most program-specific courses. However, the major integrative activities are in the form of the practicum courses in business-to-business (or industrial) advertising and campaign development for consumer products and services (reflecting the two main areas of study in the program). In the practicum courses, students are coached through viable implementations of real-world cases. One of the biggest differences between the practicum courses and the other courses is that students will work on projects that can be produced and executed while integrating the knowledge and skill that they amassed in previous courses and develop a viable campaign or solution to a problem. The campaign or solution must be of high quality, delivered on time and within budget and to a market’s  satisfaction.  For  these  courses,  students  will  be   required to work in a group - forming a practicum executive of between three and five people. Each person will have positions such as market researcher, public relations coordinator, financial manager and creative director. This will force students to be organized within their executive, and to prove that they can work well as part of a team.

Comprehensive Assessment

The Comprehensive Assessment occurs in the Advertising & Media Internship and comprises two components for evaluation:

1. The  internship  company’s  evaluation  of  the  student’s   performance and competencies in the form of a standardized questionnaire, worth 50% of the evaluation.

2. The student-written Internship Report and defence of the report, worth 50% of the evaluation.

For the latter, the report must include a brief description of the organization that the student worked for and a summary of the internship accomplishments in which a description  of  how  the  student’s  time  was  spent  and  what   achievements were attained is detailed. The report must refer back to the internship contract and must detail the personal learning objectives that were achieved. The report will refer to three management concepts that the student learned during his/her studies and describe how each can be used to explain the internship experience. Finally, the report must also include samples of work completed during the Internship. After the report is submitted, the student must do an Internship Presentation and Defence. In front of a committee, the student will place in context and review his/her Internship experience with the committee members. If the committee

determines that the Internship requirements designated at any previous time have not been met, they may require that the student does additional work to fulfil these requirements. For example, the committee could require the student to complete an additional literature review, relevant to the Internship, or to back-up his/her report with data.

Students who demonstrate that they have achieved the objectives of the program at an acceptable standard in the comprehensive assessment will have the notation RE (réussi; passed) entered on their transcript. Students who do not attain the objectives will be informed of what is lacking in their work and be allowed to re-submit the assessment, either in the current session if time permits, or in a subsequent semester.
