Faculty of Arts And Social Sciences

The Master of Arts (Publishing Studies) programme takes a proactive look at the world of publication, while deeply dissecting the meaning and reasons of writings both locally and internationally.

Publishing requires the knowledge of many disciplines – from recognising and appreciating truly great works, to understanding and applying new technologies to the publication industry. Whether a literary novel or a scientific paper, each publication has the potential to change how we think. Words can open the eyes of the world.
