Overview

The advent of the Internet, Big Data and its collection and analysis has 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 specialisation track of the National University of Singapore (NUS) Master of Communication (MOC) programme comprises courses to help communication professionals remain relevant in changing times by learning about data visualisation, 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.
