MA in Global Media and Communication at the National University of Ireland is offered as a 1-year program by the College of Arts, Social Sciences, & Celtic Studies.
This university is ranked #238 in the world as per QS World University 2021.
It is an on-campus program offered on a full-time basis only.
This program aims to prepare graduates to work as professionals in the global media and communications industries with a specialism in a chosen area.
It will focus on fostering a critical understanding of the changing global media environment and on preparing graduates who will have an insight into the role of the media and how society exchanges information through communication in democratic societies, as placed within historical and theoretically-grounded contexts.
With platform convergence and a dissolving of the walls between information and entertainment media, the study of media and communication—in particular with a focus on international issues such as globalization; populism; sustainability; digital literacy; verification, and misinformation—has resonance with graduates interested in postgraduate study.
Graduates will be trained with professional communication and production skills to work as professionals in the industry, across multiple platforms.
Students will take a dual approach to their studies, being exposed to academic knowledge and understanding as well as practical skills and reflective practice.
Students will be offered a diet of taught core and elective modules across three semesters including both academic learning and practically-focused teaching and independent learning.
Students will be offered 30 credits of modules per semester in semesters one and two, including core subjects, and a choice of elective options from media and communications and related subjects.
Students will choose their stream with a pre-determined module structure.
In their third semester, students will undertake either a final practice-based project under supervision and a work internship, or an academic dissertation also under supervision.
The MA program consists of 90 credits.
