Global Media & Communication

The MA Global Media and Communication at University of Galway explores the role of media and communication in shaping politics, culture, and society in an interconnected world. The programme combines critical study of global media systems with practical skills in research, analysis, and communication. Students engage with the most urgent issues of our time – from disinformation and platform governance to climate communication and the global struggle for democracy – while developing expertise that prepares them for careers in media, policy, NGOs, and international organisations.

Candidates must hold at least a Second Class Honours Level 8 primary degree in a related subject area or hold a primary degree in a related area (which is acceptable to the college) without honours and have three years’ relevant practical experience in the subject area.
