Future Media is a postgraduate MA/MSc programme that does what it says:
The MA and MSc Future Media programme combines agency practice with industry insights and academic methods. It’s been a proven pathway to success for our graduates since 2012 and is now a winning formula for the 2020s.
Our courses ensure you gain real-world experience and knowledge so you can hit the ground running when you graduate. In your year on the programme, you’ll be planning digital marketing and advertising campaigns with digital agencies, developing brand and product promotions with clients, making mobile, social and virtual content with leading industry professionals and building new user journeys with emerging technologies and state-of-the-art resources.

Either way, we’ll give you the tools you need to realise your ambitions.
