College Diploma - Media Communications (11681)

Humber’s Media Communications diploma program is designed to meet industry demands within multi-faceted areas of the communications industry. Students graduate with a diverse range of marketable skills in photography, graphic design, web design and writing, social media, and videography.

In the program, students will learn how to:

• be effective transmedia storytellers across multiple platforms

• produce corporate video and audio for the web and other applications • design, write for and edit effective websites • shoot professional photographic images in both the studio and on location environments • create and edit content using current software applications such as Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Premiere Pro • learn how to establish, operate and market business through a course in freelance and project management • research, write and design communications such as media kits, blogs and brochures

Courses are designed with industry input, ensuring students are learning current and relevant information in state-of-the-art labs from industry experts – people who know the trends and effective methods of communications. The first semester of this program is shared with the two-year Advertising and Graphic Design diploma, the three-year Journalism advanced diploma, the two-year Advertising and Marketing Communications diploma, and the three-year Public Relations advanced diploma programs, allowing the flexibility to continue in any of these five programs in second semester. Students will participate in a mandatory work placement which takes place in the last semester of study. During that time, students hone their skills in professional environments, developing digital communication solutions. They build complete portfolios which, when they graduate, have them standing out from their competitors as corporate communications professionals.
