The programme emphasises the importance of addressing the social and historical contexts within which a range of media technologies are employed.Develop your understanding of digital media:You will draw on a range of disciplines during the programme to develop a contextual framework for thinking about digital media and technologies as fully cultural forms and processes, including media and cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy. The focus, however, will remain on key contemporary concerns about the potential role of digital media in society and on refiguring the contours of the computational media.You will be equipped with skills in critical evaluation and contextualisation that can be applied to future developments in digital media and technology. The programme is therefore appropriate for further research and for careers in the media and cultural industries.
Applicants will normally have or expect to gain a first degree of at least second class standard (or equivalent).
