Master of Arts in Global Media and Politics

Program Overview

By studying the MA Media and Politics, students will develop an advanced knowledge and understanding of different forms of communication in their social, political, and economic contexts, focusing in particular on the relationship between news media, social media, and politics in contemporary societies.

The Media and Politics MA is a fantastic opportunity for you to engage with current debates about the constantly evolving role of media in national and international political life. The programme uncovers the ways in which journalists and politicians attempt to set the political agenda or influence public opinion and also explores the ways in which the audiences, as public and as citizens, are involved in media as consumers and producers.

The programme is built around core modules which focus on the theories and debates surrounding:

  • The relationship between the mass media, politics and society
  • The role and function of the media in a democracy
  • The impact of mass media on global political processes
  • Research methods used in media and communication research.

You will develop skills that directly enhance employability, including applying critical reviewing skills, giving presentations, plus data analysis, problem-solving, team-working and research design and implementation.
