In today's globalised, digital world, the media - particularly film, television, the Internet and social media - has substantial power when it comes to motivating behaviour and forming attitudes to topics as diverse as vaccination, war or immigration.
The MA in Global Media and Culture studies the ways in which the media and creative sectors throughout the world operate and are influenced by historic, social, political, economic or technological factors. It also considers how the creative and cultural outputs of these burgeoning industries in turn shape our individual and cultural values and identities, for example, views on diversity or racism.
An ideal blend of theory and practice, you'll have opportunities to advance your knowledge and develop specialist skills in critical thinking, independent research, as well as hands-on media production and a systematic examination of four key media forms (photography, TV, cinema and new media),
Preparing you for careers across the cultural, creative, media and digital industries, the MA aims to cultivate your creativity from conception to production and even promotion. Previous students produced and organised a public screening of their documentary on an immigrant-owned Chinese restaurant, taking advantage of our state-of-the-art media facilities.
Media and cultural studies is an exciting and developing field that draws together theories and practices from a range of disciplines and capitalises on the broad expertise of our leading academics and practitioners across media studies, film and television studies, communication and culture, and English.
