  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    Three academic terms (September-June) equivalent to part-time study

Course Description

The PGCert in Digital Media offers an introduction to critical and theoretical approaches to contemporary media and technology.

The PGCert 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.

Entry Requirements

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.
