Bridge relationships in our media-rich, global community

Our globalized world — and the cultures and subcultures within it — have specific communication needs.

In this  Intercultural and International Communication  course at  Royal Roads University  , you'll develop the communication skills to bridge relationships in our media-rich, global community.

Informed by theory and practice, you'll learn to engage with multiple channels for communication like media, social marketing, advocacy and public culture.

You'll take a strategic approach to media and public relations, applying your knowledge and writing skill to different fields: sport, health, diplomacy and social development.

You'll become familiar with different organizational structures — government, NGO, corporation and not-for-profit — and you'll learn ways to engage their audiences.

Graduates of the MA in Intercultural and International Communication will see how communication influences culture, and how culture shapes communities.
