GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH SEMINAR (CM5097)

The course aims to provide a comprehensive overview of debates of contemporary relevance to communications scholarship.

INTERNSHIP (CM5098)

In the last semester of their studies students may choose to complete an Internship (instead of a Thesis) with a corporation, international organization, government body or NGO - requires a 50-60 page report and represents 3/6 months' work. Registration of the internship is subject to the MA Program Director's approval. Please contact the Internship Office for more information.

EDITORSHIP (CM5850)

Through this editorship, a graduate student assumes a senior role in an undergraduate workshop that trains students in magazine writing and production through hands-on experience working on a high-quality student magazine, the Peacock. Students participate in a newsroom setting in a variety of roles -- from writing and editing to pagination and layout -- to produce the Peacock in both print and online versions. Graduate editors hold leadership roles in the AUP student media such as Art Director or Deputy Art Director. Editorships count for two credits and may replace a module within the MAGC program and may very exceptionally be taken on top of a 16 credit course load with permission of the program director.
