This MA Communication for Social Change degree provides a combination of practical and theoretical skills in using and understanding communication for the purpose of social change. Its central tenet is that communication shapes society. This degree draws from public relations, teaching the fundamentals of persuasion, including politically oriented communication strategies based on considered rationales and measurable outcomes. From international relations, it offers in-depth understanding of the relationship between media, political institutions, and agents of change. Through a blend of coursework, case studies, and real-world experiences, students gain a comprehensive understanding of:
The intersection of politics, media, and communication
Strategies for effective advocacy and social change
Ethical considerations in communication
Analytical skills to decipher complex global challenges
Digital media tools and their role in shaping public discourse
Crafting compelling narratives for impactful communication
The intellectual and practical skills gained in this programme will allow graduates to work successfully in a variety of communication and research positions, including non-governmental organisations, think-tanks, charities, or social movements.
You’ll have a competitive advantage, able to study one programme and gain two degrees. An MA at Richmond grants you both a US and UK masters, paving the way for careers on both sides of the Atlantic and internationally.Read less
