Communication has always been integral to politics and politics to communication, but the interplay between them is changing dramatically in the social media age and as new forms of politics emerge in spaces as far afield as Trump's America, Brexit Britain or Modi's India. Such developments challenge - at a global and national level - the taken-for-granted assumptions about what is political and how we communicate it. 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. This new interdisciplinary course is unique in offering a strong practical strand of modules that aim to provide you with a theoretically robust degree. The academic component will critically examine current developments, but also locates them historically and within an internationalised curriculum. You will also have the opportunity to take practical modules offering the potential to develop skills in different types of writing, technical competencies and presentational elements.
