  *   Media and Culture: Exploring the confluence of media and culture within social systems.

  *   Politics and Policy: Investigating the state, civil society, and issues of power in communication systems and cultural production.

  *   Technology in Practice: Examining historical, current, and emerging communication technologies in cultural production.

Our students engage in innovative research, and you can view a sampling of their project abstracts on our website<https://www.torontomu.ca/graduate/programs/comcult/research-creative/>. We also invite you to explore our People <https://www.torontomu.ca/graduate/programs/comcult/people/> page, where you’ll find profiles of faculty and students engaged in groundbreaking work.

Opportunities for Students
We offer competitive funding packages, teaching and research assistant opportunities, and strong support for external scholarship applications. Master’s students may choose for-credit field placements or engage in research-creation and multi-modal scholarship projects. Doctoral students also have similar opportunities to explore these research methods.

Why ComCult?
Toronto is a vibrant, global city and one of the safest urban centers in the world. Students have access to a rich array of resources, including faculty across two universities, visiting lecturers, and a range of industries and activities tied to communication and culture.

We are grateful for your support in connecting prospective students with our program. Interested candidates can visit our Admissions <https://www.torontomu.ca/graduate/programs/comcult/admissions/> page for an overview and detailed application instructions.

Thank you for helping us share this opportunity, and we look forward to welcoming potential candidates to the Joint Graduate Program in Communication and Culture at TMU.
