Scholarship / Supporting Statement for AAS-Part 1: Proposed Course and Institution - Comm. and Media Studies [3]
Hi, I would like any feedback or evaluation of the following part of my essay. I really appreciate any help you can provide.
I have been interested in the field of communication since the late semester of my undergraduate program. This is reflected in my undergraduate thesis which studies the use of euphemism as a public communication strategy which is important for social control in times of crisis e.g. Covid-19 pandemic. I realise that exploring knowledge in this field is becoming my priority step to develop into an impactful and resilient individual with relevant skills and expertise to participate in the development of Indonesia in public sector reform. After doing some research online: looking for related journals, syllabi, and curriculum, I decided to choose the programs below for my master's degree.
Master of Global Media Communication at the University of Melbourne provides relevant and critical insights into the emerging digital culture that swift audiences to become more borderless. That is why critical analysis, strategic thinking, research, and practical skills in communication practices and media structures that this Master's course provides are the key competencies for social stability and also relevant for my future career development. Dedicated core subjects, e.g. Change in Journalism, Digital Politics, and Political Economy of Digital Life will help me to broaden my capabilities to adapt, analyse, and think critically for practicing strategic public communication.

This Master course also offers opportunities with two streams field of study with various courses e.g. Communication Campaigns which focus to develop skills necessary to design strategic communication campaigns; Issues and Crisis Management which includes practical skills: environmental scanning, issue mapping, and crisis communication planning which will complete my understanding.
