Program details

Overview

This two-semester postgraduate certificate is organised around five areas: creative strategy aimed at meeting clients' business objectives; digital storytelling to strengthen the impact of creative advertising; brand engagement intended to build strong connections with consumers; entrepreneurship intended to build essential business capabilities that support innovation and a willingness to take risks; and emerging platforms to keep pace with digital technology affecting the advertising industry. Students develop skills across writing, creative concept development, art direction, collaboration, presentation, and entrepreneurialism, alongside a second-semester field placement involving team assignments in a collaborative environment.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Entry requires a completed degree or diploma in any discipline, or partial postsecondary study of at least two years combined with relevant work experience. Rather than a published pre-admission test score, the program has applicants complete Centennial's own English-language assessment at registration; anyone testing below the COMM170/171 proficiency level is placed into the ENGL-700 Professional English Communications course alongside their studies. After an offer is issued, applicants submit a resume or intake questionnaire and must attend a mandatory online Program Welcome Session before the program starts.

Application Details

Start Date: January and May

Application Deadline: Centennial publishes no application deadline for this program; what follows is the Ontario college cycle that governs it. Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for a program starting in Fall 2027 the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, and applications arriving after it are still assessed, but first-come first-served while places remain. Across the Ontario college system the application opened on 26 September 2026, offers may be issued from 1 November 2026, and an offer must be accepted by 1 May 2027. One $150 fee covers up to five program choices. International applicants apply directly to Centennial through its own international application process and are assessed on a rolling basis across the Fall, Winter and Summer intakes; the college publishes no fixed international closing date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
