SCHOOL OF MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION

At the School of Media and Communication (SOMAC), we foster the next generation of storytellers. Our programmes blend creative talent with AI literacy, equipping students with the tools to craft compelling stories across emerging platforms while remaining ethically grounded and culturally aware.

 

Through industry partnerships, real client briefs, and professional mentorships, you build a strong portfolio before you graduate. Rather than waiting until after university to showcase your talent, you have opportunities to create, publish, and gain recognition through platforms such as Lumicko, Taylor’s University Film Festival (TUFF), and the acclaimed Taylor’s SEARCH conferences and journal.

 

Within a strengthening research culture and postgraduate community, you develop leadership alongside advanced skills in storytelling and critical communication. This prepares you to shape culture thoughtfully and make a meaningful, ethical impact in the industry.
