Course content

Media and Cultural Studies is an exciting and developing discipline that draws together theories and practices from a range of disciplines such as Media Studies, Film and Television Studies, English and Sociology.

The course involves three main aspects:

  • the study of theories and ideas about media and cultural production in a global context
  • the critical analysis of cultural texts and practices from around the world
  • engagement in practical creative production.

The MA in Global Media and Culture seeks to explore the relationship between these three areas and to show how knowledge of each informs and influences the others. In addition, it will provide you with the skills necessary for academic study at an advanced level, either for those wishing to go on to further academic research, or as advanced preparation for those interested in pursuing careers in a range of media and culture industries.

The emphasis of the programme is the critical and analytical study of the contemporary global framework of media and cultural studies, the production and continuation of localised cultural identities within a global context, and a theoretically-informed approach to the creative production of media texts.

The Global Media and Culture programme at Keele University represents the multidisciplinary coming together of academics and practitioners from a range of fields. The distinctive nature of Keele as a pioneer for interdisciplinary academic study provides the Global Media and Culture Programme with an ideal basis for the development of cross-subject study.

TEACHING FACILITIES

The programme is taught in specialist facilities dedicated to the Media & Management programmes. Students will have 24/7 access to the Media Building which houses extensive digital media production facilities including film and photography studios and digital post-production labs. You also have access to professional media production equipment and software as part of the programme (no additional costs are involved).
