As you may expect, a communication and media degree focuses on the different forms of media and communication, with particular emphasis on digital communications. The program aims to prepare you to work in or with the media and related industries. You will also study how the media reflects news and opinion, as well as how it can be used to influence people and their decisions. The ongoing digital revolution has radically changed communications, and through social media, every industry and company is becoming more like a media company. 

Career Opportunities after a Communication & Media Degree 

Good communication is key in any workplace, and poor communication is a common weakness in many businesses, whether internally or with customers. Given the rapid rate of change in this industry, you are likely to be seen as adaptable and up to date with modern technology and its business applications. You will also develop a range of practical skills that not only improve your employability but also give you the option of working freelance if that suits you. While there are many business school graduates, companies often value candidates with different backgrounds or perspectives, making communication graduates particularly attractive. 

Many communication graduates go on to work in traditional fields such as journalism, broadcasting, advertising, public relations, and politics. However, their skills are also highly transferable and valuable across a wide range of other sectors where effectively delivering messages to different stakeholders is essential. 

Graduates with a degree in Communication and Media have a wide range of career paths. For example:

• Digital Content Designer 
• Digital Marketer 
• Media Buyer / Planner 
• Media Trader 
• Media Researcher 
• Media or Communications Adviser 
• Market Researcher 
• Social Media Manager 
• Marketing Executive / Manager 
• Television / Film / Video Producer
