Media and Communication Industries (Taught)

The media industry shapes how we inform and entertain. As a postgraduate in media and communications, you’ll dive into both the cultural and economic sides of media. Today’s professionals must understand modern communication industries, adapt to change, and tackle policy challenges.

You’ll explore media and marketing communications on both global and local levels. From politics and economics to creative work, you’ll study how industries evolve. Topics include digital publishing, social media, advertising, PR, and more. You’ll also analyse the growing overlap between media, marketing, and promotion.

Our MA in Media Studies and Communications Industries offers a dynamic programme leading to careers or research in the creative industries. Whether in content creation, management, policy, or research, you’ll gain both academic and practical skills. Through study, research, and hands-on experience, you’ll be ready to thrive in the media world.
