Degree in Media Studies

The sector is experiencing moments of great dynamism and profound transformation thanks to new formats, tools and digital platforms, and there is a need for professionals trained in different areas. The new marketing model is already talking about audiovisual content rather than films or series. These platforms are authentic content engines that demand profiles open to new formats and ideas, such as co-creation, crowdfunding and real-time broadcasting.

In 2020, videos represent more than 80% of the content generated on the Internet.
