Sciences Po

Master in Communications

Objectives

The programme trains future managers in the Communications and Creative Industries sector.

Whether it's for careers working with agencies (advertising, design, digital, corporate, PR etc.), in internal communication departments, the media and media production, or the creative industries (film, video games, music, entertainment, publishing etc.), the Master aims to provide specific, in-depth teaching to all students wishing to enter these professions.

An essential balance is maintained between the academic and professional components of the curriculum. The programme offers students a solid basis in the fundamentals of the social sciences, ensuring students develop not only critical and analytical skills, but also the professional knowledge and operational practice to enable them to begin their careers immediately after graduating.

The first year is devoted to learning basic skills: Media Landscape, Opinion, Media Economy... Throughout the year, workshops develop practical skills immediately transferable to a professional context (creativity, rhetoric, programming...). The second year is the time to put knowledge into practice. Students are able to specialise, due to the large number of elective courses on offer, where they work on scenarios and real-life case studies.

The Master of Communications, Media and Creative Industries is a unique course which successfully leads to entries into careers throughout the communications, media and creative industries, both in France and internationally. A wide variety of companies are interested in graduates from the Master's programme, such as: Amazon, BETC, Canal+, DDB, Dentsu Aegis, Disney, Endemol, Google, Havas, Lagardère, L'Oréal, M6, McCann, Orange, Ogilvy, SNCF, TBWA, UBISOFT, Universal, Sony, etc.
