How does studying at Northumbria prepare me for the future?
The course has been developed with employability in mind. We focus on developing articulate, self-motivated graduates who can communicate effectively to a diverse range of audiences using a range of formats and media.
On completion of the course you will have developed an informed, critical and creative approach both to understanding the connections between mass communication and modern businesses, and to your own relationships with mass communication and expressive practice.
You will be able to effectively demonstrate skills that are valued by employers and meet the challenges of employment (including enterprise related activities) in a society in which the cultural and communication industries play an increasingly central role.
What career options are available through this course?
As a graduate of Mass Communications and Business you will be in a strong position to gain employment in the mass communication, cultural, promotional, creative, and heritage industries, and will be ideally placed to work in roles such as journalism, marketing, public relations and business research.
The skills developed on the course are also valuable in the fields of public administration and management, teaching, lecturing and research, retailing and the business world.
A number of graduates also opt to undertake further postgraduate study with us.
