Course summary

The MA Digital Media: Education route explores the social and cultural dimensions of digital media in formal to informal educational settings, in schools and beyond. Students engage critically with theories and research related to meaning-making and digital media practices. We are, therefore, looking for students with a strong practical and social interest in fresh approaches to literacy, including popular culture and educational creative media practices in the digital age. Different from a Journalism, Marketing or Communications Studies degree, this programme is focused on issues within and debates around Digital Media Education, with a specific emphasis on qualitative research methods. Students will learn concepts related to everyday digital media use, media literacy in educational settings, creativity, and popular culture, and how these are used by film and media educators in global contexts. Critical theory and creative practice are linked throughout the degree. Students will critically engage with, and produce, media texts such as short films and blogs, working alongside UCL and British Film Institute tutors, and work towards developing their own research study.
