MA Digital Media and Culture

At York, you'll be housed in our interdisciplinary School of Arts and Creative Technologies, accessing specific media expertise across film, television, theatre, interactive media and music. You'll be able to gain specialist knowledge of digital culture in tandem with interdisciplinary learning across different media forms through optional modules.

We'll teach you through a mix of lectures, seminars, workshops, practicals and masterclasses. You'll study a wide range of key concepts, applications, operations, and visions of contemporary digital media and culture to give you the intellectual tools to analyse and answer questions about our digitally mediated world. Our focus is on developing skills of research, discussion, critique, analysis, and critical thinking for you to gain specialist insights into the effects, transformations and consequences of digital technologies.

You'll graduate equipped with the knowledge, understanding, analytical and research skills with which to consider, evaluate and investigate our digital present and future as a community, society, even as a species. You'll be well-equipped to embark on careers in media, creative, and technology sectors, research work, arts and culture, government and public administration, education, or further PhD study.

Undergraduate degree 2:2 or equivalent in a relevant subject. For those returning to study, evidence of appropriate experience will be required.
