The course offers you a unique opportunity to develop your theoretical and critical understanding of the digital, creative and media industries at the same time as honing your practical and analytical skills in a strongly industry-facing course.

You’ll explore advanced-level interdisciplinary media and management-related studies led by highly qualified team from one of the UKs leading centres for digital media, film and communication studies as well as from the prestigious Stirling Management School. The course has extensive media industry links which are drawn upon in the delivery of industry guest lectures, team project work for live clients and the opportunity for fieldtrips, including a visit to the state-of-the-art broadcast facilities at BBC Pacific Quay, the recently opened V&A Dundee and tech incubator CodeBase Stirling.
