Overview
The MA Media Practice has a focus on creativity and production with the intention of building new expertise in new media created with fast developing emergent tools. This highly innovative course is at the forefront of using emergent forms while demonstrating a critical stance toward them.
Designed to develop the skills required for the ever-changing, fast developing new media landscape, this exciting course fosters individuality, confidence and creativity. Focusing on the processes of making and critiquing media that is socially, politically, economically and ethically engaged, students are equipped with an awareness of the contingencies of the latest practical, technological and theoretical developments within the profession.
The course has a strong international focus across its cohort, teaching staff, course materials and its ethos. Influences and interventions that focus on international aspects build strong employability in graduates who emerge with a unique skillset that make them attractive to future employers and organisations at every level.
You will experiment and develop new forms that take account of the analogue world and new digital tools that, when placed together, infer possibilities that are innovative, raise questions and have impact. The course will culminate into a self-directed Final Project or Dissertation, encouraging you to employ critical questioning and enabling you to take control of your education.
You have the opportunity to join our community of critical thinkers and makers, taught by staff who are themselves film makers, authors and artists, who continually challenge traditional and emergent practices in their own work.
The MA Media Practice frames the emergent through actively questioning how we have arrived at current media landscapes. The fundamental stance of the MA is the establishment of a space that encourages a critique of media through making media which is fully conversant with new hybrid forms.

Why choose this course?

This course will sit as part of a new cluster approach to postgraduate provision in the School of Media and Performing Arts, with a new central course structure that spans several MA programmes. The model establishes a shared ethos and identity for postgraduate study in the school, providing a greater shared community experience, presence and visibility for PG students. The MA programme cluster is centred on a flexible model that allows 3 points of entry across the academic year. You will benefit from expert teaching in your chosen field as well as meaningful connectivity with research and practice expertise from across broader media and production disciplines. Students from across programmes will collaborate on project-oriented modules for a total of 30 credits allowing natural interdisciplinarity and promoting a greater contextual understanding of your chosen specialism within the broader media sectors. Via these collaborative project modules, you will engage directly with the application of your chosen discipline in a variety of contexts including the commercial application of your ideas, the creation of tools that aid international sustainable development and initiating work that empowers communities to tackle the social challenges of the 21st Century.
