Now this was the last thing to happen and it has now. Much to your joy, now date while you study and study while you make friends online. Thanks to British University, that is starting degree course on Facebook, Twitter et al. Birmingham City University is offering one-year MA degree in Social Media will also explain how to set up blogs and publish podcasts. The 4,400-pound course, which will start next year, is being advertised through a makeshift video on the university’s website.

Course convener Jon Hickman said he had received a good response from potential students.

“It’s not for freaks or IT geeks, the tools learnt on this course will be accessible to many people,” the Telegraph quoted Hickman as saying.

“During the course we will consider what people can do on Facebook and Twitter, and how they can be used for communication and marketing purposes.

“There has been significant interest in the course already, and it will definitely appeal to students looking to go into professions including journalism and PR,” he added.

Hickman also described what the course entails.

“In my opinion, the course does entail synoptic research and scholarly activity, which are the fundamental criteria for Masters degrees,” he said.

“It’s very relevant and very scholarly. It’s a new course, but its importance is unquestionable.

“Social media is very important for jobs within the marketing and communications sector, as a skill set within other jobs, and as an industry within itself,” he added. (ANI)
