Master of Arts in Global Communications

 

 
 
AUP has developed the Master of Arts in Global Communications (MAGC) for those seeking multicultural and international careers. This cutting-edge program covers the digital, the global, and the local. Curriculum in MAGC is comprehensive and flexible.
 
With rapid digitization and globalization, media, cultures and societies are being transformed before our eyes. To become actors in this process students develop theoretical knowledge and critical research skills in media and communications, and receive practical hands-on training in areas including international advertising, branding, public relations, video production and advocacy. Courses are taught by academic researchers and top practitioners in their respective fields.

The MAGC program attracts lively-minded individuals seeking to go beyond their cultural boundaries and eager to participate in the growing field of global communications, be it in business, non-profit organizations or academia. MAGC students study digital media development and globalization, and are active world citizens in these processes.

 

The Master of Arts in Global Communications at AUP encourages students to develop layered understanding of: 

 

Today's digital revolution

 

 

The economic transformations caused by brand globalization

 

 

The intercultural challenges associated with new media and globalization – and the development of appropriate responses by governments, corporations and NGOs

 

 

The development of communications industries, including global advertising, social networking, search engines and image management.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Most students choose the standard MAGC degree but they can also specialize if they so wish in either the Fashion track or the Visual & Material Culture track.
 
 

 
 
 
 
  Master of Arts in Global Communications – Fashion Track
 
 

The Master of Arts in Global Communications with a specialization in Fashion is designed for students who wish to focus on Fashion Communications within the context of the discipline of contemporary communications, and prepares students for careers in the global industry which is fashion today.

 

This program offers students the advantage of studying fashion communications in Paris at the center of the tradition of luxury and haute couture while emphasizing global, multicultural, transnational possibilities embodied by the AUP student population and the already well-established MAGC program.

 
 
 
 
 
  Master of Arts in Global Communications – Visual & Material Culture Track
 
 

Our surroundings are saturated with mediated images: on screens, hoardings, paper and portable devices. Whether obvious or puzzling, frightening, amusing or even arousing, images are essential to us as we make meaning.

 

The Master of Arts in Global Communications with a specialization in Visual and Material Culture offers a cross-cultural approach to contemporary visual communication. To study ways of seeing in a digital world, students will look at screen practices and performance, architecture, tourism and sport, gaming, animation and data graphics, all in the context of debates around ethics, alterity and globalisation. The approach is strongly global and often local.
