Today I was chatting with my friend through facebook who recently joined it, she was telling me how Birmingham City University is offering a course on how to use Facebook and Twitter only for £4,400 first I didn’t believe her cause I know facebook fever is going high but £4,400 is too high to get that fever.
Later when I went through that news which was published on Pune Mirror I was confirmed that yes they are teaching how to use Facebook and other social media but as communicationa and marketing tools and lot more with MA degree in Social Media
“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” “
