Overview

Digital Media and Society is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. 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. We currently work with 2 universities on this course across 2 cities.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
