COURSE CURRICULUM

The MA in Digital Media and Global Communication is designed to provide students with essential skills in both digital media and global communication, offering flexibility to cater to diverse career aspirations. The program includes compulsory modules that cover key concepts and practical research skills, such as digital media, communication technologies, and their impact on global audiences. In addition to the core curriculum, students have the opportunity to choose from optional modules that deepen their understanding of digital media's influence on users or allow them to apply their knowledge by creating their own digital content. Some optional modules also involve collaboration with Norwich Business School, enhancing career prospects. Throughout the program, students work on an individual research project that can take the form of a critical research inquiry or a creative project, providing them with a portfolio piece to present to potential employers. Compulsory modules include research skills development, an introduction to media and cultural studies, and a practical module focused on global communication and intercultural communication in professional settings. The program is designed to ensure students not only gain theoretical knowledge but also practical expertise in media production, project management, and communication strategies. The combination of academic learning and hands-on experience prepares graduates for careers in a wide range of media and communication fields, both locally and internationally. The final research project allows students to explore topics of their choice, further honing their skills and presenting an opportunity for specialized work in their chosen area of interest.
