Study Details: PGDip 1 year full-time; 2 years part-time
The Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Media – Theory is unique in its combination of theoretical approaches to contemporary media and technology.
The PGDip in Digital Media – Theory is designed to help you understand digital transformations in media, culture, and society in the media and creative industries, and in further research. You will be equipped with skills that can be applied to current and future developments in digital media, social media, computing, and other aspects of technology.
This programme offers a critical and contextual approach to digital media and technology. It explicitly discusses approaches to ‘new’ media in academic and professional debates, especially those that overemphasise the potential for radical social change led by a technology itself. The programme emphasises the importance of addressing the social and historical contexts within which a range of media technologies are employed.
Applicants will normally have or expect to gain a first degree of at least upper second class standard (or equivalent).
The programme is suitable for students from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds within the humanities and no prior knowledge of new or digital media studies is required.
Consideration may also be given to students without an academic background in a relevant subject area if they have significant professional experience in the field of digital media and are able to demonstrate their ability and commitment to the pursuit of a programme of rigorous academic study.
All applicants need to demonstrate an awareness of the historical and contemporary significance of digital media and technology and a willingness to accept the challenge of interdisciplinary study.
