What does this course teach you?
You will join our Portfolio School students for the first term, because the SCA model of teaching is designed to help unlock creativity, openness, curiosity, collaboration, vulnerability and resilience from the start. By the end of the first term, you will know how to have killer business ideas on demand.
We teach a lot of strategy and presenting skills during the first and second term of our Portfolio School and these are transferable skills, which will bode well for your start-up.
When the Portfolio School students start focusing on their advertising awards briefs in their second (of three) term, you are getting ready to launch your idea into the world. The course will teach you how to
- Write a business plan in a fast-changing world
- Prototype with the help of AI
- How to protect your Intellectual Property
- How to promote yourself
- How to pitch to investors

Application process
It’s important to us that we make sure this is the right course for those who apply – and it’s also important that we put Ideapreneur applicants through the same selection process as Portfolio School students. (You will be sharing classes with each other for two terms).
School fees
£6,050 per semester (x2)
Or £1,210 per month over 10 months.
SCA offers a six-month, intensive course in which entrepreneurial students will discover the start-up they want to launch, the tools to build it and the network to support them.
This is an unapologetically fast-paced course, where you will be pushed hard and where you will need to dig deep. The Portfolio School students will be having a similar experience, so there won’t be a shortage of empathy. But they’re here for three terms and then six months of paid placements. You want to be your own boss – and we’ve only got two terms together to make it happen.
Application & fees
We take selection very seriously. It’s important to us that we make sure it’s the right course for those who apply, we also need to be confident that our candidates are a right fit for us as the industry knows SCA graduates are the best new talent entering the industry.
If it is a good fit you will be invited to attend one of our Selection Days so we can find out more about how you think, and work with others. You’ll join us for half a day to immerse yourself in our world, working with other candidates on fun tasks and briefs. It’s also a great opportunity to meet our faculty and current students for an absolutely honest view of what the course is like, and have any questions you have honestly answered.
