Publishing degrees

Studying publishing

A publishing degree can lead to a number of careers within literature, media and communications, including editor, publishing agent, content strategist, and public relations specialist. Publishing students get to know the entire publishing process, from manuscript acquisition to distribution, and learn how to shape narratives and ideas for wider consumption. They help to cultivate literary culture and develop innovations within digital media. Common topics studied at university include editing, digital publishing, copyright law, and marketing, and postgraduate students have the opportunity to take any of these subject areas and examine them in greater depth.
