The Ad School is an 8 week summer placement programme where students experience agency life, working alongside some of adland’s brightest and best in one of London’s top agencies. Alongside this, they also attend weekly evening sessions with senior industry folk who offer them advice and insights, as well as a great chance to network. Finally, the students work in small teams on a group project which is then pitched at graduation. The culmination of these three elements is what really makes the Ad School unique – a fantastic opportunity for both learning and doing.

There are three streams: Client Services/Planning, Creative and Search. Students who successfully complete the programme win a prize sum of money and travel expenses within zones 1-2 in London will be paid for.

The programme runs from 1st July – 23rd August 2013.

Applications are open now at http://www.ipa.co.uk/adschool. Deadline is 29th March.

Students are also encouraged to join the ad school Facebook group at http://www.facebook.co.uk/IPAAdSchool, and to follow updates on the IPA’s careers blog, AdMISSION (www.theadmission.co.uk).
