The media industry is in constant change. In a sector where success depends on keeping ahead of the trend, our MA Media and Communications degree course will help you stand out from the competition.
This extensive Master’s degree in Media and Communication will provide depth and breadth to your existing knowledge base.

You’ll combine cultural, historical, and industry-specific analysis with theoretical study and develop a deeper critical understanding of the media.
You’ll also have the chance to test your creativity by researching and writing in different forms, including screenplays and TV scripts, blogs, dissertations, industry reports, and essays. You can also do a self-sourced media mini-placement, which will provide you with practical experience and insight to give your skillset that extra competitive edge.
Once you graduate, you’ll be well placed to pursue roles across the media industry, including writing for television, publishing, journalism, media criticism, scriptwriting, film, and media management.
