Course Summary

Environmental Concerns. Digital privacy. Rights and responsibilities. How an individual can remain ethical and true to themselves whilst also striving for success.
This new Masters degree is focused on encouraging more ethical thinking within the communications professions. With placements and other work-like experience opportunities in non-profits, agencies and ethically-minded businesses, you can develop the practical expertise needed to create innovative and thoughtful media content.

By fostering an understanding of key social debates surrounding sustainability, equality, inclusivity and political decision-making, this course will develop the reflective skills that employers tell us are so important for success in the modern workplace.

What you'll study

The degree encourages you to become an innovative, critically-minded, technically astute and ethically robust media communications professional. You will take 180 credit points through five core modules and one optional module. This approach allows for the core understandings necessary to succeed in this industry to be taught, life-long friendships to be made and your individuality to be expressed.

Some of the modules involve practical work, placements and work-like experience. This could include projects for businesses and the charity sector - such as producing a fundraising campaign, communicating a health programme, or preparing a social media campaign. Throughout these practical modules you will be producing work as part of your creative content portfolio, from podcasts to videos and displays.

Study methods and assessment

The course is delivered through a series of lectures, seminars, workshops, group project work, work simulations, practical media sessions, directed learning and tutorial support. Visits to media and creative industry organisations and guest speakers from the industry form part of the course.

Assessment on the course involves coursework, report writing, presentations, and group work. The core of the course is structured with no formal examinations. You will write a dissertation, and prepare work on research methods including an assessed dissertation proposal as part of the research training element.

Modules

In the 21st century the creative and cultural economies have seen increasing digitisation, leading to considerable change. With guest speakers and field trips you will examine these changes to working life and practices, and further understand how it will impact modern work.
