Why Study Communications at UNIC
What our Students say
“My studies enabled me to have hands on and theoretical knowledge in an era that digital media is so prominent, and I would say necessary for all TV channels and other businesses. My studies helped me to build up my brand, promote my TV programs on social media platforms whilst engaging with the audience. It also taught me how to draw in new audiences using different theories and skills as well as always having a plan ready to handle a production crisis. It was great to be part of this study, meeting new people and learning from my professors and other people who share our passion for this field.”
“Since day one I felt that the campus was the ideal place to study for my Master’s degree. The instructors knew how to bring the best out of a student and that kept me focused on my goals while studying. The hands-on practices taught me differentiation between the media and how to use each one of them. The program covers various perspectives about social media and it is the reason I chose to be where I am today!”
“Completing an MA degree with the communications department of the University of Nicosia was one of the most thrilling educational experiences I’ve ever had. Through engaging and interactive learning methods, the faculty were passionate about introducing the students to the world of social science. I am forever in gratitude for the knowledge that was passed to me by my professors, whom I consider my mentors.”
“Risk and Crisis management allowed me to gain new knowledge about crisis management with a focus on the role of social media, interactive communication and increasing the competencies of the people involved. I’m thankful to my course professor and my classmates for welcoming me and including me from the first days which were very hard as I was scared about this new reality. They inspired me to grow up and I enjoyed the lessons and various debates on current topics. I will return to Italy with a beautiful memory.”
“I remember the struggles, stress and the challenges I faced during my studies and my experience of traveling and living alone, it is all worth it now. It has prepared me for my dream job in the field of digital Public Relations and branding. The program and UNIC supported me all the way from the start to achieving my career goals. I hope more people will realize the career-importance of having an MA in Digital Media and Communication.”
“Studying at UNIC gave me an amazing opportunity to develop knowledge while discovering a different culture and new perspectives. I felt very satisfied with the level of education, the attitude of the lecturers and the entire friendly community. I also enjoyed UNIC for being involved in students’ lives and organizing many cool events. I’m glad I had a chance to be a part of it!”
