The Big Idea

The foundation of Marketing Communication, Advertising and Public Relations is the key to spread the word for any business or cause. From integrated media campaigns to events, students master the strategic use of different marketing platforms to nail the next big idea and sway audience.

My time in APR helped me discover my passion for social media and copywriting, which I find very interesting and fun. The course also prepared me well to enter the advertising industry confidently through internship and agency-based learning.

What a ride it has been for the past three years in APR! The Agency-Based Learning Programme has certainly prepared me well for the working world and further affirmed my passion and interest for the industry.

- Er Joey, Diploma in Advertising & Public Relations

These three years have undoubtedly been a roller coaster of frustration and triumph, from winning pitches to the countless hours of lost sleep. Each experience has taught me to always stay hungry, be humble and never fear to fail!

- Sean Leong, Diploma in Advertising & Public Relations

Being in Integrated Marketing Communications has taught me more about the various marketing tools and tactics, and the experience has given me valuable insights to how campaigns are generated, planned and executed in the industry professionally.

- Dylan Chia, Diploma in Mass Communications

Integrated Marketing Communications was filled with nothing but fun and endless possibilities. It never fails to amaze me, how with a touch of strategy and dash of creativity can give the mundane and the ordinary a burst of colour and purpose.
