| What it is | Professional Communication teaches you how to write, speak, and present effectively for real workplaces — covering writing for media, digital platforms, business, and public relations. Unlike a general media studies program, this one focuses on practical skills employers want: clear messaging, audience analysis, and professional communication strategy. It suits people who are strong writers, comfortable speaking in front of others, and interested in working for organizations, companies, or media outlets where clear communication matters. | Communications at Glendon teaches you how media, visual culture, and marketing work in practice and in theory. You study cinematography and photography alongside media analysis and strategic communication, rather than pure theory or business skills alone. It suits people who want to understand how messages reach audiences across platforms and are willing to study in both English and French. | You study how films and media are made, analyzed, and used in society. This program combines film history and criticism with hands-on creative work in video, photography, and digital media, rather than focusing only on theory or only on production. It suits people who want to understand both the artistic and technical sides of filmmaking and are drawn to creative storytelling across different media formats. |
