Media culture is changing at a rapid pace. New technologies, platforms and organisations emerge while others are threatened with extinction. What are the implications? What specialist skills do you need to develop?
**At the heart of digital innovation**
On our programme, you’ll look at the culture, society and theories that bring new ideas to the media industry. You’ll explore issues around digital technology and identity, develop high-level skills in critical analysis and get hands-on experience in areas like digital journalism and visual storytelling.
Some modules include practical assessment such as creating a video or documentary, where you’ll consider the theory behind what you produce. It’s this combination of knowledge and skills that employers find so valuable – and that puts you in a prime position to work in this exciting and rapidly changing industry.
