LJMU's Mass Communications MA investigates the significance of media forms, the systems within which they operate and the challenges they face.

• Develop exceptional transferable skills such as presentation, communication and interpersonal skills, skills in creative and analytical writing, organisation and time management
• Study a course designed for students from a wide range of academic or vocational backgrounds, including social media managers, public relations and journalism
• Follow a curriculum delivered by academic staff with a proven record in research and teaching
• Join the cultural workforce with an understanding of how changes in policy and the politics of culture effect communication

Media industries and their content are often subject to scrutiny and debates concerning their communicative power and influence, professional practice, ethics and law. This MA will enable you to join the cultural workforce with an understanding of how changes in policy and the politics of culture impact communication. You will examine how communications, institutions and media systems connect with contemporary audience experience and participation.

Former students who have studied Mass Communications at LJMU have gone on to work in advertising, marketing, public relations, arts administration, publishing, industry, retail, leisure, charitable organization
