Experiences & Opportunities

The Media and Communication program at TWU provides you with numerous rich learning experiences where you can explore your potential and expand your horizons. The best part? You get to do this within the context of a close-knit community of peers and professors. Whether you’re interested in a rich intercultural learning experience in Ottawa or Berlin or working for an on-campus student media team, you have many opportunities within your grasp.

Laurentian Leadership Centre

Particularly ideal for Media and Communication students, the Laurentian Leadership Centre (LLC) is a unique live-in extension program in the heart of Ottawa, where upper-year students and recent graduates have the opportunity to study, intern, and grow in community, steps from Parliament Hill. The program helps emerging Christian leaders connect academic learning with public life, professional experience, and vocational formation.

Travel Studies

TWU offers many travel studies, and some—such as the most recent trip to Berlin—are led by programs in the School of the Arts, Media, and Culture. In these travel studies, you can develop new skills in intercultural contexts as you travel with 12–18 other students in the summer. Students often choose to stay a few weeks earlier or longer on their own to continue the adventure.

Field Placements Program

Our field placement program provides part-time work and experiential learning during the regular school year in a media or communication-related job that also earns you credit toward your degree. Students can work at local newspapers, public relations companies, television studios, and a range of other corporate and non-profit workplaces.

Student Media

Mars’ Hill Magazine and Pillar Yearbook are student-led projects providing opportunities for journalism, photography, and design students to contribute to campus life.

Los Angeles Film Studies Centre

Working with students from CCCU member universities, the Los Angeles Film Studies Center (LAFSC) offers a semester-long undergraduate program in Hollywood that combines intensive film production, screenwriting, and acting courses with hands-on industry internships from a Christian liberal arts perspective.
