Dublin City University - DCU Speciality : Marketing
programme: Marketing and Social Media

I enjoyed studying for the MA in Social Media Communications at DCU. There are a couple of reasons why I loved it so much. Firstly, I could choose if I want to study it full-time (one year) or part-time (2 years). This was one of the most important factors that I have chosen for the programme. Secondly, the choice of modules was so good and specifically selected, that I think they succeeded in including all the main assets of what is social media in general. Thirdly, the lecturers were so friendly and up-to-date with the social media realm and trends. Plus, they were so open-minded when it came to discussions and debates and they even gave us projects and essays with interesting topics. On the other hand, there is just one thing that I did not enjoy that much, or that I would change in the future, which is that there is no practical module for any of the subjects that we studied. Not even a practical project or a collaborative project with some PR or marketing agencies. I would have loved it during the programme or at the end of it, to have some discussions with some freelancers, companies or different brands which could have given us a chance to prove our work and skills and give us a chance for an internship or a Graduate Programme. Overall, I would recommend this Master Programme to anyone who is passionate about social media and communication and wants to specialise in this specific communication area, which is social media.
