This programme aims to deepen student’s knowledge of media and practice, by allowing them to conduct research in the field of media theory, communication and media forms. Drawing on a wide range of expertise within the school, you will have the opportunity to develop, sustain, consolidate and resolve a self-directed programme of work in the field of media, either creative or theoretical, over an extended period of time. The module is divided into two taught modules and a substantial independent piece of work, supervised by specialist professional staff in the field. Successful applicants for this programme will have an excellent first degree in a relevant discipline or equivalent practical/industrial experience, and a demonstrated ability to work independently to bring a self-directed project to completion.
