- We provide a supportive learning environment with high levels of staff-student interaction. You will engage in active discussion of topical issues, ranging from the power of social media platforms to the nature of media biases and the effects of disinformation.
- Our courses are taught by internationally recognised experts in political communication research across a range of specialisms, countries, and contexts. In addition to Political Communication courses, you can choose courses from across the School of Social & Political Sciences, subject to availability.
- The programme has a strong focus on practice-based learning with a range of activities, including alumni networking events and high-profile speakers from the world of politics, communications, political strategy and journalism.
- We partner with the John Smith Centre to bring practitioners and industry leaders into the classroom, providing you with unparalleled networking opportunities and access to top professionals working at the intersection of politics and communication.
- Our programme is unique in Scotland, and is one of the very few political communication programmes in the UK to be taught by Politics and International Relations specialists, rather than scholars of media and communication studies.

You will be part of a vibrant and diverse student body in the School of Social & Political Sciences, which offers regular extracurricular events, societies, and activities to improve your experience in Glasgow.
