Digital Media: Production MA

UCL (University College London)

The MA Digital Media: Production route combines cultural and media theories and creative practices in digital media production, allowing students to critically engage with key debates and develop specific techniques in digital media production. Different from degrees focused on technical mastery or marketing/advertising, this programme is designed to support students to become reflective, critical practitioners, capable of developing creative modes of enquiry in order to leverage a rapidly changing digital landscape towards producing socially relevant and compelling works. Students will engage with digital media and cultural studies theories and creative practices in fields such as animation, interactive media development (e.g., VR/XR), game design, storytelling, and coding. The degree interweaves critical theory and creative practice, and the studio-based structure of the Media Production Studio facilities at the UCL Knowledge Lab equips students to produce theoretically informed digital media artefacts.
