About this program

The Diploma of Marketing and Communication at Kent Institute Australia in Sydney introduces students to essential marketing principles and effective communication strategies used in Australian organisations today. Across 49 weeks, you’ll engage with practical units covering topics such as consumer behaviour, digital marketing, market research, advertising, and public relations. The course is delivered through a mix of theory and hands-on assessments, reflecting real-world marketing practices relevant to both Australian businesses and global industries active in Australia.

As a diploma-level qualification, this course is made up of structured units of study, each contributing to your overall credit point total. Students learn in small classes, allowing for direct feedback and collaboration, which suits those who prefer an interactive environment. Projects and case studies are commonly used for assessment to mirror challenges faced by marketing professionals in the workplace.

The skills you gain cover campaign development, persuasive communication, use of digital tools, teamwork, and problem-solving – all key in today’s marketing roles. The course is a good fit for people beginning their business studies, school leavers aiming for a quick entry to marketing roles, or those wanting to upskill and formalise their marketing knowledge. It's also a common pathway into further undergraduate study, with credit available for related bachelor degrees in Australia, subject to university policies.
