Communication Studies and Multimedia

We live in a highly mediated world where messages are embedded in all forms of information. How does one make sense of the tangled web of media, culture and language? Communication Studies and Multimedia (CSMM) provides the tools necessary for finding answers to that question and the skills to create new media.

Formed in 2005, the Department of Communication Studies and Multimedia is an interdisciplinary department that addresses questions of New Media, Digital Culture, Language and Social Life, Cultural Studies, Mass Communication and Performance Studies in exciting and novel ways drawing on knowledge from the Arts and Humanities.
