Overview

The core curriculum of the Global Communications programme offered at The American University of Paris provides a broad, flexible overview of contemporary media and communication. It is regularly updated to reflect emerging communications trends around the world, ensuring students develop a relevant toolkit of critical and practical skills adapted to the varied and fast-moving landscape of global communications.

These core competencies include qualitative and quantitative analysis, written and spoken communication skills, and mediated communications including video, print, social media, and visual modes of production. The in-class learning experience is enriched with immersive study trips, bringing students into contact with experts in the field.

Experiential Learning

To understand how communications operate globally, students need to apply learned theory to a vast array of cultural and practical contexts – that’s what makes graduate study trips such a vital part of the MA in Global Communications programme. Learning to translate concepts across cultures is made possible through immersion in cross-cultural environments: whether that’s through studying place branding in Iceland, exploring cultural heritage in Morocco or practicing development communications in India.
