Course Overview
Immerse yourself in the worlds of media, communication, and global development, and explore the dynamic and complex relationships between them.
On this dynamic MA in Media and Global Development, you’ll study key topics including behaviour change communication, participatory communication, media freedom, NGO fundraising and representations of development.
In recent years, we’ve had an impressive line-up of seminars, lectures and workshops from organisations including Save the Children, FCDO and WaterAid. You’ll also have the chance to attend professional skills courses such as Participatory Photography and Mobile Filmmaking and get involved with UEA societies such as UEATV, Concrete Magazine and Live Wire.
You’ll find this course relevant if you’ve recently completed undergraduate study and have an interest in the relationship between media and development, or if you’ve already worked in the media or in the field of global development. This core content is taught by specialist staff with expertise in media and development across a range of thematic areas including refugees and communication, humanitarian journalism, charity campaigns and more.
Past graduates have gone on to work in a range of exciting fields including humanitarian communication, NGO communications, development journalism, media development, charity marketing and communications, journalism, and academia.
Students need to have Bachelors degree (minimum 2:2 or equivalent) Social Sciences, preferably Media, Politics or Development. Relevant work experience is desirable. Applicants should normally have a good undergraduate degree from a recognised higher education institution. The University will also take into account the employment experience of applicants where relevant.
