Application for admission into the EMDes in Advertising program is a competitive process. Applicants must hold a four-year bachelor’s degree, diploma or equivalent from an accredited college or university with a GPA of 75% (B) or better, as well as have at least four years of work experience in advertising or marketing.
For consideration by the admissions committee, applicants must submit the following:
- Graduate Studies Application Form
- A personal statement outlining the applicant's reasons for pursuing a graduate degree.
- Current CV or resume.
- Portfolio of applicant’s advertising work that will be evaluated on the basis of originality and professionalism.
- One copy of official academic transcripts from all previously attended post-secondary institutions.
- Two completed Reference Forms from academic faculty, colleagues or clients.
- One letter of support from the applicant’s current or most recent employer.
- $100 CDN application fee (cheque, cash or money order only).
Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to an interview with the Graduate Program Director and/or one or more members of the Graduate Program Committee. Alternative arrangements will be made for applicants who are unable to attend the interview in person.
Admissions will be limited to 20 students per class: five art directors, five writers, five account planners and five brand managers. If this ratio of students is not available, the cohort will still be limited to 20 students, but the ratio may change and the team composition may be reduced or increased to reflect the available applicants.
