The BA in New Media and Communication may not be suitable for individuals with specific interests, skills and career goals. The intensive nature of this program, which requires intensive digital content production, media analysis and technology use, may not be of interest to everyone. First of all, individuals who are not interested in technology and digital trends, who are not enthusiastic about social media platforms and media production tools may struggle and be unhappy in this program. The innovations and constantly updated content of the program may be too challenging and uninteresting for those who are not passionate about these topics.
It may also not be suitable for students who are interested in more theoretical or traditional academic studies and avoid practical, hands-on work. Studying New Media and Communication combines theoretical knowledge with practice, engaging students in real-world applications and projects. Students who are more research-oriented or interested in abstract topics and do not want to deal with ever-changing technology and media trends may find this dynamic and hands-on style of study tiring.
The constant adaptability, fast-paced work environment and the requirement to learn a variety of skill sets required by the program may not be suitable for individuals seeking a more stable and predictable academic or professional pathway. The program demands a high level of adaptability, continuous learning and well-rounded skill development from students. This can be stressful and overly demanding for some students.
Finally, the fast-paced and ever-changing nature of the media and communications sectors may not be suitable for individuals seeking security and stability. The sector requires constant innovation and can sometimes offer unstable job prospects. Those who prefer job security, regular working hours or a more predictable career path may be uncomfortable with the uncertainty and competition that this program and related careers bring.
For these reasons, although the Bachelor's Program in New Media and Communication offers attractive opportunities for many students, it may not suit everyone's interests and expectations. Potential students are advised to carefully consider the skills, interests and career goals required by the program and their own personal and academic goals.
