The Postgraduate Diploma in Political Communications offers teaching that is critical, innovative and diverse. It combines theory with practical, applied elements, and draws on a range of research and contemporary examples.
You will cover political communication, from the national and international to the local and personal – from governments and parties, to NGOs and local activist groups. The programme engages with cultural, alternative and digital, interactive communication as well as traditional mass media.
The Department of Media, Communications and Cultural Studies has been ranked 2nd in the UK for ‘world-leading or internationally excellent’ research (Research Excellence Framework, 2021) and 12th in the world (2nd in the UK) in the 2022 QS World Rankings for communication and media studies.
Applicants will normally have, or expect to gain a first degree of at least upper second class standard (or equivalent).
