New courses
respond to changes
in industry demand
QMU continuously reviews its courses
to ensure that they reflect changing
demands from industry, as well as the
changing needs of society.
T
HE UNIVERSITY WORKS closely with industry experts
to ensure that both undergraduate and postgraduate
courses equip graduates with the skills they need to
compete in the market place. We also conduct market
research to see how we can upskill graduates who want
to better service their employers or who wish to stand head
and shoulders above the rest in the crowded employment
market.
Following a major portfolio review over the last year, QMU now
has a number of new media, PR and business postgraduate
courses. Here’s an overview, but check out our website for
more detail.
MSc Digital Campaigning and Content Creation
This course will equip professionals working in film, PR,
communications and campaigning, or those in promotional or
activist roles with third sector organisations, with both written
and visual digital skills essential to successful campaign
management. It will help fill the skills gap for all-round creative
graduates who can blend written, oral and sound communication
with engaging visuals as part of their daily work.
MSc Media Management
The first qualification of its kind available in Edinburgh, this new
master’s degree aims to equip graduates with the business
skills required to pursue a management career in the media and
creative industries. It focuses on developing an understanding
of media and creative businesses and the global environment
in which they operate.
MSc Finance
This course is a perfect fit for graduates from a wide range of
disciplines who may have little or no business experience and
want to begin a career in finance or business. It offers an in-depth
knowledge and understanding of how corporations manage their
finances, as well as how global capital markets work.
MSc International Marketing
The course responds to the growing importance of marketing
and allied business functions. It will produce graduates who
have a strong understanding of the international marketing role
and the key factors that influence the environment in which
they function.
