Aminah’s story

Bnu Gave Me The Skills I Need To Succeed

Hi, my name’s Aminah and I am in my second year of Creative Advertising at Buckinghamshire New University (BNU).

I chose Creative Advertising at BNU because I wanted a course that not only prepared me for the advertising industry but also gave me great support and a strong relationship with my lecturers as well as a sense of community. And that is exactly what I got coming here!

We are a close knit university where we feel a lot like a family, supporting each other and encouraging each other to succeed. BNU gives us the confidence to feel ready to step into the industry and specifically on my Creative Advertising course, every year I feel more and more prepared to take on any challenges the industry could bring my way.

Since starting my second year of Creative Advertising, we have already worked on live briefs given to us by huge advertising agencies such as BBH and Oliver and worked on brands like Duolingo, GymShark and Babybel.

In the first month of this academic year, we had already gone to London and pitched our ideas on a brief at BBH. This is only possible as we have so many alumni that now work in the industry and continue to support BNU students by giving them placements, and other industry opportunities.

Our classes are very practical and hands on, we tend to spend most of our lessons working collaboratively and bouncing ideas off of each other. What I love about our courses is how the University has created a space that feels and functions like a real Advertising Studio. It makes our day to day learning a lot more fun and helps us get used to how we would be working with others in a similar setting in the industry.

I cannot wait to see where I will go from here, as BNU has shown me that my opportunities are endless.
