MA Media & Digital Communications

The Regent’s MA in Media & Digital Communications bridges the traditions established in the study of 20th-century media with the innovative and emerging practices of the 21st century. Students will learn about a range of communicative and creative practices within media that are increasingly shaped by technological change and digital communications.

Students on this programme will gain a wide-ranging conceptual foundation for understanding the development and growth of media and communications as an academic field, as a cultural landscape, and as complex, networked industries. You will gain a critical awareness of current problems and emerging methods and analytic techniques needed to address audiences, data, digital communications and social media.

The degree offers an exciting range of optional modules to represent the breadth of issues and topics relevant to media and digital communications today. From investigating love in a digital age to learning techniques for telling stories across multiple platforms and formats, the degree will prepare students with future-facing skills needed for careers in a continually evolving professional landscape.

London is a living classroom on the degree, connecting students to a media capital and global hub for digital innovation. Guest speakers, practitioners, industry experts and specialists in the field of theory or practice will contribute to the degree and work with students to enhance their learning and skills.

A special feature of this MA is that it allows you to choose your final assessment, which can be a dissertation, a creative project or an industry placement. During this period, students will engage with employability and personal development sessions, in order to consolidate their academic experience and prepare themselves for the next exciting stage in their futures.
