MA MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION INDUSTRIES

The media industries that inform and entertain are also leading sectors of employment. This course explores both the cultural and economic aspects of media. Today, more than ever, media professionals need to understand the cultures, forms, and practices of contemporary communication industries, and recognize and respond to changing conditions, challenges, and policy issues. You will explore media and marketing communications industries from the global to the local, and from political-economic aspects to the creation of media practitioners and users. You will examine contemporary convergence across media, marketing, and promotional industries and will be supported in your independent investigation into chosen aspects of digital publishing, audiovisual and social media, advertising, public relations, and other marketing communications industries. This MA offers a stimulating and wide-ranging program supporting routes into both postgraduate research and careers in the creative industries in content creation and operations, management, research, policy, and other support services. The program will help you develop both academic and applied skills through research and study, innovative work/study experience, and production.
