Recent Experiences in International Publishing Education

Abstract

Publishing education is a young and modest subject compared with its elder brother, print training, and its noisily fashionable younger siblings, communications and media studies: well-established in the U.K. and some other western countries, it is still in its infancy in many parts of the world. As Stirling University has run a one-year postgraduate Master's degree in Publishing Studies since 1982, it seemed useful to survey and reflect on the needs and experiences of students from outside the U.K.
