Communications and legal extension

Strategic communicators are responsible for a range of public-facing communication initiatives, such as digital, traditional and social media and marketing campaign design and production, advertising, media liaison or the development and implementation of large-scale communication strategies.

As such, a fundamental understanding of the law as it relates to public engagement is a valuable tool for professionals in this field.

This degree enables you to explore strategic communication processes and industries - such as advertising and public relations - in their social, economic and political contexts.
