The Political Communication MSc aims to tap into growing interest nationally and internationally in how to make sense of these developments and what they may mean for political communication professionals working in areas as diverse as election campaigns, PR and crisis communication, political satire, or journalism. The new interdisciplinary degree is unique in offering a strong practical strand of modules that aim to upskill you within a theoretically robust degree. The academic component of the degree aims to critically examine current developments but also locates them historically and within an internationalized curriculum. You will have the opportunity to take practical modules or theory-practical offering the potential to upskill in different types of writing, technical competencies, and presentational elements on practical modules. The academic component is grounded in a flagship module in political communication that locates current developments historically, theoretically, and critically as well as nationally and internationally. You will not only study conventional political communication topics on elections but also learn about digital cultures, political satire, and fake news. Crucially, in an age where facial recognition, AI, deep fakes, and micro-behavioral targeting are creating new possibilities and challenges, you will also study international media ethics.
