The Global Political Communication MA focuses on political communication in a fast changing global context, looking at message production, transmission, and reception across nations, as well as the key theories, themes and controversies central to the academic study of political communication. Communication lies at the heart of politics and is essential to understanding political culture in contemporary media saturated countries. The Global Political Communication programme is delivered by a diverse interdisciplinary team with a strong profile in, for example, digital culture, media, sociology, anthropology and communication studies. All of our world-leading scholars are research active and use their research to develop and deliver cutting-edge teaching. The Centre for Research in Communication and Culture (CRCC) brings together Loughborough University’s world leading researchers in media, communication and culture. This MA draws on the enduring strength of political communication and media studies research in Centre for Research in Communication and Culture and is taught by leading international scholars who have been at the forefront of election communication research in the UK for over 20 years, examining protest movements, radical politics and democratic deliberation. Employability is an important part of the curriculum across all of our MA programmes. All students will take taught employability sessions which cover finding employment in the media and cultural industries, finding placements, writing CVs and preparing covering letters.
