Social Media
Social media is woven into the fabric of modern society, and it’s here to stay. Understanding social media is critical to understanding the biggest events in our world, as well as the fundamentals of human behaviour.
Our social media courses will teach you the theory and practice behind this revolutionary transformation in human communication — and how to use it to engage with new audiences.
With studies in society, culture and industry, along with the ability to analyse new and emerging media, students with social media training will be prepared for the next innovations in this constantly growing and evolving field.
