'It’s helped me see communication not just as a media or business tool, but as the way society connects and understands itself.'
Why did you choose this particular course?
I’ve always been curious about how people connect: what they want to express and how well their messages come across. Choosing Communication Studies at DCU let me explore that curiosity on a deeper and global level. I have learned, researched, and seen how communication shapes everyday life.
What aspects of this programme were most useful or valuable to you?
I love the broad yet diversity of this programme. I get to understand communication through different social lenses, from feminism and social class to race and politics. And I also get to experience its many forms, from social media to video production and public speaking. It’s helped me see communication not just as a media or business tool, but as the way society connects and understands itself.
What were your highlights of the programme?
Communication & Presentation is one of my favorite modules. It's an unconventional lecture as we learned standing in a circle instead of sitting at desks, played interaction games and practiced to fully grasp theories. I was thrilled and surprised every class yet gained valuable insights into public speaking. Media Audience was another memorable module, where we kept a media diary to track what we consumed, when, why, and for how long. That experience made me more aware of my own media habits and how deeply media is woven into everyday life.
