Effective international communications is
one of the foremost challenges of our times.
The past two decades have seen the birth of
a technological revolution, which is
transforming our lives, and profoundly
shaping our societies, our occupations, our
leisure, and the very ways we conceptualize
the world.
News, high culture, and popular culture are
increasingly shared across national
boundaries, and interpersonal communication
has taken on whole new meanings in the age
of the Internet. News media have become
increasingly global in their audiences,
their courses, and their ownership.
Graduates capable of critical and creative
thinking about new and old media on a global
scale are in increasing demand. Corporate
managers must communicate constantly with
customers, suppliers, and shareholders in
every part of the globe. Students must be
equipped to understand and to master this
rapidly changing environment. |

The Master of Arts in Global Communications (MAGC) is one of the few MA programs in
the world to undertake the systematic study of
global communication systems. The massive
technological revolution provided by the
internet, digitalization, and the economic
transformations caused by brand globalization,
combined with the intercultural tensions
associated with these tendencies, are the
focus of the program.
