MSocSci (Communication) - Data and Communication Specialisation
The advent of the Internet, Big Data, and its collection and analysis have led us to a world where information is more than just binary numbers.
Rather, those lines of information can now help connect better with one’s target audiences and strategically influence the decision-making process for more optimal business results.
The Data and Communication specialization track of the National University of Singapore (NUS) Master of Social Sciences in Communication (MSocSci (Communication)) program comprises of modules to help communication professionals remain relevant in changing times by learning about data visualization, social media, and analytics, studying that data and understanding it, and then building a positive narrative with it.
This specialisation track will be suitable for leaders and executives who are in corporate communications, public relations, journalism, and arts.
