Overview

New information needs are created by the intensification of different types of mobility (for example tourism, migration and commuting for work), the rapid expansion of digital media systems (including mobile media, GPS systems and data flows), and the development of 'smart cities', for example.

The Geomedia Studies - Media, Mobility and Spatial planning programme from Karlstad University is particularly useful for students planning careers as, for example, tourism communication officers, place marketers, data analysts, tourist destination developers, spatial and social planners, digital strategists, or researchers.

Career

Graduates from the programme are qualified to continue with doctoral studies. The programme also equips you with knowledge and skills demanded by, for instance, the tourism sector, communications, opinion formation, media analysis and strategy, and spatial and social planning.

Graduates can embark on professional careers as tourism communication officers, place marketers, tourist destination developers, digital analysts, PR consultants, journalists, editors, spatial and social planners, digital strategists and place developers. The programme provides good opportunities for preparing for the profession of your choice.
