THE ELEVATOR PITCH
The best advertising course imaginable – and then some. Students learn by working on real briefs, set by top agencies. Every day feels like a job interview. 400+ mentors visit our studio, spending time with 30 students. Every student finds work placements at the end of their time in our studio.

THE BIG IDEA
The School’s ethos is that vocational learning should be considered as ‘action in rehearsal’. It endeavours to provide bright, ambitious and talented young adults with the best launchpad for a successful career in advertising. This is reflected in everything from the design of our central London base, to our network of industry mentors, and from our ground-breaking approach towards developing a qualification, to our industry-backed investment fund for seeding students’ start-ups.
Students spend 12 months in our studio, surrounded and supported by 400+ of the industry’s top talent. They spend this time working on real briefs, before going on guaranteed placements.
School of Communication Arts 2.0 is a social enterprise operating as not-for-profit. We have three revenue streams; school fees, client fees and industry sponsorship. Our charter is to invest spare resources, first in the creation of scholarship places to widen participation, and second in the advancement of facilities so that we can grow capacity.
Currently, one third of our students receive financial support funded by the industry.
