MSc Political Communications and Public Affairs

... United Kingdom
... Queen Margaret University

Course Overview

We recognise the growing importance of specialist skills that combine communication with strategic management, and an understanding of public affairs, that is issues of interest to the public. Many organizations, from huge corporations to grassroots organizations, rely on public affairs specialists to be able to conduct their activities, to look after their reputation and, most importantly, to have a say in how the world is shaped by what governments and legislators do. As you will learn, not all people who do these jobs think of themselves as public affairs specialists, some may be called policy officers, or public engagement managers, but whatever the job title, there are core competencies that you need, and that you will start developing with our help. The course is suitable if you: are interested in public affairs, media, and communication, irrespective of the subjects in which you already have an academic qualification already work in a communication or PR role and want to specialize in public affairs and/or aim to progress to a research career in communication or strategic communication
