MA in New Media and Communication (in English)
Why New Media and Communication at Ibn Haldun University?
In an increasingly digitalized world, communication is at the center of all industries and institutions. The dissemination of new media tools is changing societies and forcing transformation. While it raises various industry-specific expectations, it also imposes some communication requirements on all business areas. With this awareness, Ibn Haldun University's Master's Program in New Media and Communication provides theoretical information on new media and communication with practical applications to meet industry-specific expectations and requirements and meet the field's academic needs. Students enrolled in the program will be involved by completing theoretical and practical courses at the Master's level for one year.
Educational activities within the program are largely carried out in collaboration with industry-experienced students and academics. At the same time, students receive an integrated education combining theory and practice through the on-campus Media Center and Studio, which offer extensive production and post-production facilities.
