MA
Summary
Whether through social media, advertising, film, music or museums, the media (in all its forms) helps shape our understanding of the world. It exposes us to news, views and ideas that can negatively or positively sway our sense of self and the world around us, not to mention the media itself. This multidisciplinary MA in Global Media and Culture examines the links between contemporary media, culture, society and identity. It provides a fascinating insight into the changing global media landscape, examining how culture and media are produced, distributed and consumed across a wide variety of sectors and industries.
**Why choose this course?**
- An exciting and unique mix of theory, critical analysis and creative practice
- Freedom to tailor your degree and research around your interests and career plans
- 24/7 term time access to extensive digital media production facilities
- Opportunity to undertake a work placement
- Access to funding opportunities if you progress to PhD study
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.
