Course summary

This research master's provides a sound grounding in media, society and cultural research and focuses on developing critical and independent thinking.

Overview

The Media, Society, and Cultural Studies (Research) MA is a research master's course. This means it's primarily designed to support your exploration of a chosen research area.

The programme is built around your individual research project. This is bolstered by dedicated research modules and a selection of modules in media, social, and cultural studies.

Whether you intend to pursue a PhD or enhance your professional qualifications in a specific area, this master's program is for you.

As a taught master's in research, you'll have a timetable that encourages independent work within a structured framework. Monthly meetings with course leaders allow you to refine your project, and you'll engage in modules that will equip you to design and complete a master's-level research project.

Additionally, the program provides a selection of optional modules to complement your research.

This programme is also recognised nationally by the Economic, Social Research Council. It can form the initial training component for the four-year (MA plus PhD) - ESRC Northern Ireland/ North East (NINE) Doctoral Training Centre

You'll undertake advanced master's-level training in research skills, learning the most effective ways to explore and understand media, society and culture. You will complement your research expertise by developing your ability to be critical and analyse. The culmination of your learning will be for you to develop a potentially publishable piece of research.

Upon completing the MA programme, you'll have the skills needed to move onto a PhD programme or undertake sophisticated and nuanced research projects. By the program's conclusion, you will have achieved the following:

  • Developed comprehensive knowledge of diverse research practices, methods, and paradigms.
  • Gained awareness of a broad range of critical, cultural, and societal theories that inform media, social, and cultural studies.
  • Attained expertise in a specific area of media, social, and cultural studies that meets your own needs.
