Investigate comprehensive theoretical approaches to media in the modern world through this new interdisciplinary Master's in Media and Creative Cultures.
This MA in Media and Creative Cultures explores the latest digital and media research methods and helps you engage with critical materials and cultural developments. You'll not only analyse media, but also create and curate media, assisted by innovative research projects and visits to media institutions across London. You're also encouraged to engage with London's pioneering cultural and media scene, with its many festivals, exhibitions, installations, conferences and workshops.
Our Media and Creative Cultures MA is the result of several years of research in the fast-developing field of media and creativity. With roots in cultural studies, philosophy, political science, fashion studies, activism, and digital technology, the course offers a comprehensive approach to media in the modern world.
How you will learn
Teaching
Teaching is carried out through a combination of lectures, seminars and workshops. You should expect 2-3 days a week on independent learning depending on your prior experience. Teaching takes place 2-3 days per week with additional tutorial hours may vary.
Class sizes
The typical student intake per year averages 10-15. This ensures a perfect balance during the seminars and allows deep learning and intellectual discussions during modules. This is also an ideal size for external work, field trips and gallery visits, of which there are many.
This means that the course is very competitive, and invites those who value quality research time and close-reading sessions.
Independent learning
Outside of timetabled sessions, you are expected to dedicate time to self-study. This may involve further reading and research, preparing coursework and presentations.
You can use our Stockwell Street Library and online resources to support you in these activities.
You can also participate in the following:
- View student work and keep up-to-date with our blog
- Performing Arts Society
- Student societies.
Overall workload
If you study full-time, you should expect the workload to be similar to a full-time job. For part-time students, this will reduce in proportion with the number of courses you are studying.
Assessment
All assessments are based on your course work and project work. Some courses have assessments, which provide feedback to help you monitor progress.
Feedback summary
We aim to give feedback on assignments within 15 working days.
Dates and timetables
The academic year runs from September to June.
Full teaching timetables are not usually available until term has started. For any queries, please call 020 8331 9000.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
