What it isThis program combines the study of how people and institutions communicate with the analysis of political systems and power. You'll take courses in both media studies and politics, learning how messages shape public opinion and policy. It suits students interested in understanding the relationship between communication and government, or who want careers in political communications, journalism, or policy analysis.You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.
