Our Global Communication and Development MA engages with the role of media and communication in articulating processes of social change.

The new media developments have prompted fresh thinking about the implications of technological change upon processes of social and political change. Set in contexts of globalization, the three central questions addressed by the global communications master's programme include: what kind of communications revolution does this signal; what kind of social change processes are we experiencing; and what are the conceptual tools we need in order to understand such transformations and dynamics?

You will develop a deep understanding of communications and development in a changing global context. You will consider major traditions, theories and frameworks of inquiry relevant to the analysis of global communications and development. Our Global Communication and Development MA investigates the debates surrounding communications and cultural policies for democracy, equality and the economy, focusing on diverse markets such as Latin America, South Africa and Asia.
