Program overview

A two year college diploma in advertising, covering campaign development, copywriting, media planning, brand communication, digital channels and a produced campaign portfolio.

St. Lawrence runs advertising at two and three year length, and neither appears on the aligned list while digital marketing does. The subject overlap between them is considerable, which makes the code the only thing separating the outcomes.

College Diploma - Advertising and Marketing Communications is taught at St. Lawrence College Kingston campus, a public Ontario college. Read this carefully: the advertising and marketing communications diploma sits below degree level and does NOT appear on St. Lawrence’s own list of PGWP-aligned programmes. Treat the advertising and marketing communications diploma as carrying no post-graduation work permit unless St. Lawrence confirms an eligible CIP code for the advertising and marketing communications diploma in writing. Ontario additionally requires a provincial attestation letter before any study permit application for the advertising and marketing communications diploma.

Entry to College Diploma - Advertising and Marketing Communications is Grade 12 or equivalent at 50 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the advertising and marketing communications diploma is recorded at CAD 18,500. St. Lawrence charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the advertising and marketing communications diploma. The advertising and marketing communications diploma lists a single entry window, a September start, so missing it costs a full year. Apply Study Visa manages your the advertising and marketing communications diploma application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
