MS-200 Theorising the Media

The principle aim of the course is to enable examination of a diverse range of modern media theories to probe their relevance to our everyday lives: how far do they further our understanding of the role and influence of media and communication? Each lecture will assist in developing a critical perspective on a major theorist or major theme which binds together a school of thought. Every effort will be made to trace the evolution of theoretical perspectives as they emerge over time and to encompass the various foci which gain prominence as attention shifts from effects to reception, from indoctrination to active resistance and empowerment and the new postmodern information age holds sway.
MS-235 Media Law

This module introduces students to the fundamental principles of the law as it relates to media and communications, as well as giving students an understanding of current law and regulations which relate to the media and communications industries. Broad topic areas will include broadcasting, advertising, copyright, and defamation as well as topical issues such as piracy, social media use, censorship, data protection and virtual property.
MS-M10 Dissertation or Project

An innovative practice-based alternative to a Masters dissertation. Students are encouraged to develop projects across more than one area of media practice and to do so with dual supervision that embraces both theory and practice. Work produced should be at a professional level, accompanied by a reflective essay and presentation exploring the contextual, theoretical and practical issues raised by the project.
MS-M11 MA Project and Dissertation Preparation

This core module comprehensively prepares students for their Master¿s project or dissertation, which is an integral part of the requirements for the degree. It incorporates several key themes and issues across the communications, media practice and PR industries. It is a challenging, and stimulating module ¿ both for professional practitioners and those new to communications and media practice. The module encourages students to unite theory and practice in productive ways. It introduces students to a number of important research and project management methods essential for undertaking a successful project or dissertation.
MSDM03 The Digital Edge: Contemporary Issues and Trends

This course explores contemporary developments in the digital ecology and their implications for social behaviour and knowledge, tracing the socio-political and cultural consequences of changes in digital technologies and their use and their impact upon older, broadcast-era media and social and political organization. The course draws heavily upon contemporary case studies, being taught through an active engagement with unfolding events, issues, technologies and news stories.
