| Scope of the program | The page does not describe career prospects. From the content, the programme is likely to prepare graduates for work in which an understanding of human cognition, media use and communication matters, for example in media, communication and technology settings, and in analysis of how people interact with each other and with technology. The capstone project, with its choice of quantitative, qualitative or theoretical methods, builds research skills that could also support further study. These points are implied by the focus and should be confirmed once the university publishes the full programme description. |
