     THE 4th INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
At Taylor’s University, we are constantly keeping ahead to ensure our students
graduate future-ready. The 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) will change the way business
is done. The revolution is characterised by a range of new technologies that are fusing
the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and
industries, and will challenge the status quo of education and its graduates.

Like most progressive fields of studies, media and communication is evolving at an
exponential pace hand-in-hand with technology. Here are some advancements that
are being discussed, adopted and anticipated globally:

     Studying Communications at
       Taylor’s University was an
 eye-opening experience. It made
me realise my passion and I would
 not be where I am today without
 the guidance of the lecturers and
    the practicality and hands-on
 experience from the broadcasting
 degree programme. I am grateful
and cannot thank my lecturers and
friends enough for all the support!

the year. The International SEARCH Conference held once every two
years bring together the best minds in the discipline, notable industry

which manifest the various research challenges and opportunities in the
areas of media and communication under the bigger umbrella of social
sciences. These discussion sessions engage and widens the perspectives
of our students to current and future issues.
