Subject overview

The media sells us everything from toothpaste to politicians. Communication technologies from TV to Twitter can bring us together or tear us apart. As a Communication student, you'll explore ideas and develop skills to navigate our digitally mediated world and shape its future.

You can learn a combination of theoretical and practical approaches for developing specialised communication skills in the context of a broad understanding of contemporary media culture.

You can study writing, visual communication, advertising, social media, journalism and digital communication.

Where can Communication take you?

You can prepare for a career in communications, marketing, content production, technology, advertising, public relations, sports media, digital and broadcast media.

Where could this programme take you?

You can supplement your undergraduate degree with the courses you need to follow a specific career path or enhance your professional development. If you’re looking to step up into one of our postgraduate programmes, the graduate diploma is a useful way for you to get there.
