Location of Goldsmiths, University of London

For those with a background in one or more of these areas, work experience in media and communications, activism and advocacy, the arts and cultural sectors, this MA is a grounded theoretical degree. It aims to open up new ways to approach the familiar, learn time-tested ways to critically approach the `new´, and creative thinking about both. The programme is also affiliated to the Centre for the Study of Global Media and Democracy, and the Contemporary Cultural Processes Scheme.


Contents

Along with two compulsory (core) courses and a research seminar, you complete four optional courses and an original research-based dissertation. The first core course provides conceptual, historical and techno-economic orientation for studying transnational communications and global media as interlocking fields. The second core course thinks more deeply about the theoretical, empirical, and methodological intricacies of these broader domains in light of selected theoretical themes and case-based studies. In both courses, visiting lecturers and research fellows provide cutting-edge insights into scheduled and occasional themes.

IELTS
