COURSE OVERVIEW
The MSc by Research in Media Geographies allows you to undertake a year-long (full time) or two-year-long (part-time) individual programme of personally and professionally enriching research, supervised by our Human Geography academic staff.
Your media geographies research project will be shaped by participation in research activities such as seminars, workshops, laboratory activity and field work, as well as your involvement in one of our established research groups.

Digital geographies and locative media
Climate Change and the media
The geopolitics of ‘fake news’
