Master of Communications and Media Studies

The last decade has seen unprecedented changes in communications and media content, technology and policy – with wide-ranging implications for business, politics, public policy and everyday life. The Master of Communications and Media Studies builds your understanding of the changing global contexts of media and communication practices. Theoretically and practically grounded, it'll give you a critically informed understanding of key issues affecting the global communications industry, focusing on the challenges posed by the emergence of digital media, globalisation and increasing levels of cross-cultural knowledge exchange. You’ll be introduced to the latest developments and research in communications and media – including in social communication channels and online media – always with a view to real-world application.
