HOW TO APPLY

Digital media is set to dominate twenty-first century culture and society. This course gives you the opportunity to study digital media, and to be trained in tools to understand and make use of it, creatively, critically and productively.

While the field of media and communications study the dynamics of film, television, radio, and the press, this course addresses how digital processes are transforming culture, the economy and society. It will give you a critical and practice-based understanding of how digital media and culture is being transformed by networks, algorithms, and software, by memes, trolls, likes and links, by uploads and downloads, by big data, personal data and trash. It will equip you to follow a professional career in knowledge-based companies, whether these are museums or marketing agencies, businesses or charities, new media production companies, public relations, and think-tanks. It will also provide you with an excellent academic background to pursue issues in digital media at doctoral level.

Who should apply?

The MA in Digital Media and Culture involves an interdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning. You will have the opportunity to acquire practice-based and technical approaches to digital media alongside developing in-depth knowledge of its history and likely future. No specific disciplinary background is required, although your application must demonstrate understanding of and/or interest in contemporary developments in computing, media and culture. For further information, contact Course Director, Dr. Olga Goriunova: o.goriunova@warwick.ac.uk.

Course Laptops

All students starting the course will be given a laptop to be used in seminars and workshops.
