Study Details: 1 year - 5 years
The Digital Media: Education MA route explores the social and cultural dimensions of digital media in formal to informal educational settings, in schools and beyond. You will engage critically with theories and research related to meaning-making and digital media practices and technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are, therefore, looking for students with a strong practical and social interest in fresh approaches to literacy and educational creative media practices in the digital age. Different from a Journalism, Marketing or Communications Studies degree, this course is focused on issues within and debates around Digital Media Education, with a specific emphasis on qualitative research methods.
Applicants with a 2:1 from a UK university, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, in Education Studies, Media Studies, Cultural Studies, Film Studies, Digital Media Arts or English Literature will be considered. Applicants with a 2:2, in a relevant subject, plus at least 2 year's work experience in an educational setting (in a school, college, university, cultural/arts agency) may be considered. Applicants with a non-relevant subject will not be considered.

They also work in the private sector (IT and technology, public relations and retail), NGOs, research organisations, and government departments. They are also well-placed to follow academic careers in educational research.
