Media and Communication (MA) - University of Portsmouth

The media industry is in constant change. In a sector where success depends on keeping ahead of the trend, the Master in Media and Communications (MA) degree course will help students stand out from the competition.

This extensive Master in Media and Communication (MA) will provide depth and breadth to students' existing knowledge base. They'll analyse the current and historic effects of media on society, and learn about how traditional and new media can be used to communicate different messages. They'll combine cultural, historical, and industry-specific analysis with theoretical study and develop a deeper critical understanding of the media.

Students will also have the chance to test their creativity by researching and writing in different forms, including screenplays and TV scripts, blogs, dissertations, industry reports, and essays. They can also do a self-sourced media mini-placement, which will provide them with practical experience and insight to give their skillset that extra competitive edge.

Upon graduation, students will be well placed to pursue roles across the media industry, including writing for television, publishing, journalism, media criticism, scriptwriting, film, and media management.
