Programme summary for MA Global Media

About

This exciting and challenging programme offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the media within a global framework. The global media is a crucial component in the formation of the ‘new world order’, in which contemporary geo-political events are increasingly integrated into the ideologies and discourses of a transnational media culture. Our programme critically examines a wide range of media including television, cinema, print, the internet and new digital media technologies.

Structure

The MA comprises three core modules and a further two modules chosen from a wide range of options. The core modules are:

• Global Media: an Introduction
• Research Methods
• Dissertation.

Career

The programme will enhance your opportunities to work in the media and cultural industries, particularly those operating in an international context. The programme also provides a basis from which to pursue further postgraduate and doctoral research.

Support

Students are offered tutorial support in following their research interests. In particular, they will be offered expert supervision for their dissertation study. This also includes critical work from practice-based media work and work-placement learning.

Admission

Applicants will normally have a first or upper second class degree or equivalent, or comparable professional or research experience. Applications from overseas and EU students are welcome. Students whose first language is not English should normally have achieved a score of 7.0 in IELTS or equivalent. Eligibility for students without degree-equivalent qualifications will be assessed on the basis of a short essay and statement.
