International Publishing
The publishing industry has reinvented itself many times and continues to do so. It has a rich cultural history and in terms of revenue, the publishing industry makes more money than TV, radio, film and music together. The digital transformation in publishing is primarily driven by young media professionals. If you're keen to be part of this development, this program gives you the opportunity to become successful in field of publishing. Both the publishing industry and our Minor program offer an exciting mix of print and digital media.
