MA in Digital Media and Society
This degree programme offers a comprehensive understanding of current developments in digital media and their wider social significance.
Smartphones, social networking, blogging and tweeting, online shopping, communication by email, and the delivery of news, film, music and e-books over the Internet: these are just some of the most striking ways in which the digital is penetrating and transforming contemporary society. This programme focuses on digital culture and the digital economy, critically examining their increasingly central role in contemporary social life.
The programme is delivered by a diverse interdisciplinary team with a strong research profile in, for example, digital culture, media, sociology, anthropology, and communication studies. Students on the programme study relevant theory illustrated with concrete cases, and also receive a training in research methods that prepares them to pursue a dissertation on a specialist subject of their choice within the field.
