I chose the MSc in Emerging Media as it gave me an opportunity to deepen my understanding of multimedia production and expand into new areas of practice. Having previously done my Bachelor's degree in DCU (the BA in Communication Studies), I knew I'd have a great educational experience. 

The access to great resources and facilities through the DCU School of Communications to enable great media-making and the insightful real-world experience of the School's staff gave me amazing insight into media practice.

The thing I really took away from the programme was the patience, support, and guidance of the incredible staff (both academic and support) of the School of Communications, who gave so much great advice throughout and were always so ready to help with any issues we had, especially while working on our final thesis projects. I also really enjoyed the opportunity I got to learn new disciplines in depth, including visual design, UX/UI, and screenwriting.

I believe the programme equipped me excellently to work in my current position as a trainee in the Communication Service of a major European Union agency. Through the programme, I got to know many fellow fantastic media professionals, and I am very grateful to have them in my professional network.
