Study at Your Own Pace while Mastering the Latest Technical Tools

For many master’s students using a blended learning platform, the chance to organise study time around their own schedules means less stress, and the chance to really dig into the learning process.

Professional transformation happens slowly, one assignment at a time, when the student has the opportunity to properly digest, discuss, and apply what they’ve learned.

Research shows that we remember only a tiny 10% of what we read, versus an impressive 90% of what we “do.” With their self-directed model, blended learning platforms get students “doing” right from the start.

At Falmouth, blended learning master’s students learn how to navigate a cutting-edge computer interface, explore the latest media channels, work in teams to develop advertising campaigns, and much more.

Blended learning advertising students get comfortable implementing digital tools and approaches

In a technology-driven field like advertising, learning online may actually offer students a competitive advantage—not to mention, help with balancing commitments at work and at home.

Here’s what Falmouth MA grad, Kelly Stevens says about the online learning experience:

“Undertaking the MA as a distance learning student has given me everything I hoped for... a flexible timetable (so I can listen to a lecture and study when it suits me) and tutors who really know their craft. Most of all, it’s given me the confidence I needed...”
