The Digital Media: Critical Studies MA is for students who wish to develop an advanced critical and analytical understanding of the current, rapidly changing digital media landscape. Students explore media and cultural studies theories and methods relevant to the analysis of digital media texts, audiences, users, technologies, infrastructures, and cultures. Optional modules offer students the opportunity to focus on specific topics, such as digital games, gender in digital media, and mobile media in more depth. During their final term, students undertake independent research on a relevant topic of their choice with the support of a supervisor.

Applicants with a 2:2 in a relevant subject, plus at least 2 year's work experience within the fields of education, media and/or the cultural industries may be considered.
