The MA Digital Media is unique in its combination of practical and theoretical approaches to contemporary media and technology.
This established and exciting degree is designed to help you understand digital transformations in media, culture, and society and apply this understanding in practice, in the media and creative industries and in further research. The programme will equip you with skills that can be applied to current and future developments in digital media, social media, computing, and other aspects of technology.
The MA Digital Media educates aspiring media practitioners and academics as well as early and mid-career professionals who seek to reflect on their roles in a structured and stimulating learning environment designed to give all students up-to-the-minute knowledge of digital media and the skills to apply that knowledge to future developments.
You should have (or expect to be awarded) an undergraduate degree of at least upper second class standard in a relevant/related subject. If you’re applying to the practice pathway you’ll also need to submit a portfolio of work.
You might also be considered for some programmes if you aren’t a graduate or your degree is in an unrelated field, but have relevant experience and can show that you have the ability to work at postgraduate level.

Our programme provides a theory and practice pathway and prepares students for work in the following areas:
The programme offers three pathways:
Pathway 1 addresses central theoretical and conceptual concerns relating to digital media.
Pathway 2 combines theoretical analysis and practical work, offering students the opportunity to explore new media theories and concepts in image making. This pathway is primarily aimed at students who already have some practical experience. It is meant to appeal to media industry professionals who are keen to reflect critically on their practice within a structured learning environment and graduates of practice-based courses.
Pathway 3 also combines theoretical analysis and practical work, offering students the opportunity to explore new media theories and concepts in Data Visualisation. No advanced prior knowledge of computation is required, but a willingness to learn about technology and media on a theoretical and practical level is.
