At York, you'll be housed in our interdisciplinary School of Arts and Creative Technologies, accessing specific media expertise across film, television, theatre, interactive media and music. You'll be able to gain specialist knowledge of digital culture in tandem with interdisciplinary learning across different media forms through optional modules.

We'll teach you through a mix of lectures, seminars, workshops, practicals, screenings and masterclasses.

You'll graduate equipped with the knowledge, understanding, analytical and research skills with which to consider, evaluate and investigate our digital present and future as a community, society, even as a species. You'll be well-quipped to embark on careers in media, creative, and technology sectors, research work, arts and culture, government and public administration, education, or further PhD study.
