Bachelor in Advertising

Advertising studies how brands communicate with audiences through persuasive messaging, visual design, and media planning across print, broadcast, and digital channels. Typical coursework covers advertising theory and history, copywriting, graphic and campaign design, consumer behavior, media planning and buying, brand strategy, and digital and social media marketing. Students often work in studio or workshop formats, producing print layouts, video storyboards, and digital campaigns as part of coursework, and may complete a capstone campaign project for a real or simulated client. Programs frequently combine creative skills with analytical training in market research and audience data so students can evaluate campaign effectiveness. Graduates typically move into roles at advertising and marketing agencies, in-house brand teams, media companies, and public relations firms, working as copywriters, art directors, account planners, or media buyers. This program is a 4 year bachelor's degree at Bahçeşehir University in İstanbul, Turkey, taught fully in English, which supports work in the English-language advertising and marketing materials used by international brands and agencies. İstanbul is a major advertising and media hub in the region, home to agency offices, production studios, and marketing departments of both Turkish and multinational companies, offering students exposure to a working industry environment. Over the four years, students build a portfolio spanning copywriting, visual concept development, and campaign strategy, moving from foundational communication theory toward applied, client-facing creative work by the later years of the program.
