Course Overview

Our course is specially designed so that you can develop an in-depth knowledge of the field and a wide range of transferable skills. Completing this course will enhance your employability and give you a competitive advantage in the job market.

Some recent graduates have secured jobs in new media organizations, press and broadcast organizations, international news agencies, government departments, advertising firms, and public relations organizations.

Our course strongly emphasizes research methods and training and therefore provides a solid foundation if you wish to continue researching at the doctoral level. You will critically examine the role of media and communications technology in shaping cultures and societies, influencing development processes, and linking transnational communities. You will investigate how media and communications are central to the changing structures, boundaries, and flows of our increasingly globalized world and look at the critical influence of digital media and web-based cultures. Paying particular attention to global development and inequalities, you will also explore how communication processes can be seen to widen and close the gap between the global ‘north’ and ‘south.’

By completing this course, you will have developed a critical understanding of the relationship between processes of globalization, media, and communications and their diverse impacts on social change and the relationship between communication and development processes. In addition, you will have developed an understanding of the contemporary and historical processes shaping globalization in the digital era. Finally, you will also acquire the necessary advanced analytical and research skills, which will be essential for your dissertation project.
