MA Publishing Studies (ma-publishing-studies) at University of the Witwatersrand

The Master of Arts in the field of Publishing Studies by coursework and research report is a 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time degree. Coursework is done as a hybrid mix of in-person and online lectures and is supported by an extensive guest speaker seminar program and in-person activities twice a semester. This ensures that we prepare students for the real-world expectations of various roles in the publishing industry, evaluated by submitting authentic assessments that evaluate industry-relevant skills competencies.
