MA Media and Communication
MA / PgDip / PgCert / short courses (full prospectus entry)
The MA in Media & Communication is a pragmatic course of study in the theory and practice of media and communication. In contemporary media production, multi-platform production is the norm, with most projects cutting across online, games, radio, audiovisual and print media. This programme seeks to enable each student to make the best use of the opportunities and challenges multi-platform production presents. It does this through the study of the cultures and industries of digital media combining a critical foundation in the history and theory of media and communications with hands-on technical training and professional practice.
Individual production projects (in both audio and screen-based media) and enterprise-related offerings are encouraged, and students have a choice of concluding their programme with either a written or practice-based dissertation.
