Media Studies.
The MA Media Studies programme enables you to engage at an advanced level of study with media from cultural, social, political and philosophical perspectives. The course is predominately theory-based, although you can choose options from a wide range of practical modules, including digital film and television production or digital arts. A particular emphasis in this programme is placed on the technological transformations of media and the associated changes in media production and consumption.
The MA Media Studies is delivered by a partnership of the Bradford Media School in the School of Computing, Informatics and Media at the University of Bradford and the (External) National Media Museum (NMeM), also located in Bradford.
The NMeM provides both a unique learning environment and a large body of resources relating to film and cinematic arts, as well as a growing collection of rare prints and over 9000 books on film and special holdings. You will also enjoy access to unique screenings and to all of the festivals held at the NMeM.
