Media and Communication

Media and communication have the power to change the way we think and act. As mobile network coverage now reaches 85% of the world's population (UNCTAD 2021), media and communication industries are reaching and influencing a bigger, more connected audience than ever before.

We offer research-led media and communication teaching on the platforms you are passionate about. This is the perfect degree choice if you want to bring about positive changes within the media and communication industry and its role within a global society. Glasgow Caledonian University is highly regarded for the quality of teaching, research and facilities it provides.
