Overview
This page covers Digital Media across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Media Studies mixes production work with theory, and the equipment and studio access differ sharply between departments.
If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
