This course focuses on digital media management, but we also offer two interlinked MA Digital Media courses, one which focuses on culture and one which focuses on design aspects. This means that you can tailor your degree to your career goals broadening your skills further with option modules from one of the other course aspects.

We also offer this course as a Postgraduate Certificate. For the Certificate, you study fewer modules and do not complete a final project. On successful completion of the Certificate, you can progress on to the Master’s course.
