Course content

This programme aims to deepen student’s knowledge of media and practice, by allowing them to conduct research in the field of media theory, communication and media forms. Drawing on a wide range of expertise within the school, you will have the opportunity to develop, sustain, consolidate and resolve a self-directed programme of work in the field of media, either creative or theoretical, over an extended period of time. The module is divided into two taught modules and a substantial independent piece of work, supervised by specialist professional staff in the field. Successful applicants for this programme will have an excellent first degree in a relevant discipline or equivalent practical/industrial experience, and a demonstrated ability to work independently to bring a self-directed project to completion.
