GLOBAL MEDIA AND CULTURE - MA
The course involves three main aspects:
- the study of theories and ideas about media and cultural production in a global context
- the critical analysis of cultural texts and practices from around the world
- engagement in practical creative production.
The MA in Global Media and Culture seeks to explore the relationship between these three areas and to show how knowledge of each informs and influences the others. In addition, it will provide you with the skills necessary for academic study at an advanced level, either for those wishing to go on to further academic research, or as advanced preparation for those interested in pursuing careers in a range of media and culture industries.
