The digital communication and social media cluster provides students with knowledge and skills relating to the Internet and digital culture. Students have the opportunity to learn writing skills for online media and produce television programmes. Students learn about the socio-cultural, economic, political, and policy contexts of digital culture. We also investigate the influences of new media technologies on a rapidly changing global media landscape.
