EXPLORE THE MEDIA. DISCOVER YOUR INFLUENCE.

How do you get your information? What entertainment do you consume? Who do you trust? How can you better understand the platforms and the media of communication that structure your life, your relationships, and the contemporary society all around us? How do you protect yourself from manipulation and how can you position yourself as a media producer, not just product? How do you inform yourself as someone who can strategically manipulate channels of communication and audiences for it, not just learning about social media practices and communication messages and campaigns, but acting to shape them? Our Media and Communication programs create the foundations for all of this.

Media and Communication studies position you as someone with the critical, intellectual, analytical, practical and interpersonal skills which employers seek, and which are more valuable than ever before in the face of A.I. challenges. We don’t just study media output, but also examine media producers, institutions and organizations, audiences and users. By seeking to understand how the world can be shaped by media industries and practitioners, you equip yourself to engage on that playing field.
