COURSE OVERVIEW
An MPhil in Digital Media enables you to undertake a substantial project led by your own passions and interests.
It represents a highly respected qualification which can present a pathway to a career in academia, or widen your scope for employment in fields such as education, government or the private sector.
The MPhil takes two years full-time or four years part-time.
You will submit a thesis of up to 60,000 words, demonstrating original research. This is followed by an oral examination of the thesis (a viva voce examination, or viva).

• media and cultural theory
