Advertising & Media Major

Advertising & Media Major is offered as a non-degree program at Yuhan University in Bucheon, South Korea, spanning two to three academic years with intakes every March and September and instruction in English. This discipline trains students to plan, create, and evaluate the messages that brands and organizations use to reach audiences across television, print, digital, and social platforms. Typical coursework covers copywriting, visual composition, campaign strategy, and the research methods used to understand target audiences before a message is built, alongside an introduction to media planning and the buying and placement of advertising space across channels. Students also study media production basics, including how advertisements are shot, edited, and adapted for different formats, from a short broadcast spot to a multi-image social media carousel. Because advertising sits close to consumer psychology, coursework often touches on branding, positioning, and how repetition, tone, and imagery shape audience perception over time. Group projects are common in this field, mirroring the agency environment where copywriters, art directors, media planners, and account managers collaborate on a single campaign brief. Graduates from programs of this kind typically move into roles such as copywriter, media planner, account coordinator, social media strategist, or production assistant at advertising agencies, media companies, or the marketing departments of larger organizations. The discipline rewards students who can combine creative instincts with an analytical read on audience data, since campaigns are increasingly judged on measurable engagement rather than creative merit alone.
