Discover how digital technologies are changing the world - and us. Engage with real-world challenges and gain the skills and confidence to shape our digital lives now and in the future.

Investigate how digital technology - from AI and data visualisation tools to social media - impacts culture, communication, global society, and our relationships with the world.

We've designed our Digital Media, Technology and Society Master's to combine academic depth with hands-on exploration of digital practices, such as:
  • digital storytelling
  • large language models
  • data management
  • applied digital ethics
  • digital entrepreneurship in the context of media and communications

Learn from world-class academics and industry experts in an interdisciplinary Russell Group university, with links to outstanding creative, cultural and media partners.

Engage with real-world challenges and equip yourself with practical skills to stand out. 

Develop advanced digital fluency, critical insight, collaborative decision making and cross-cultural awareness.

Graduate with the knowledge, skills, and experience you'll need to develop successful careers at top global firms, media outlets, and NGOs, working in roles such as:
  • digital communication executive
  • media strategist
  • policy maker
  • digital creator
  • or research roles, including at PhD level.


You'll be based in Media, Culture, Heritage, in the internationally-recognised School of Arts and Cultures. You'll also have access to optional modules from a variety of disciplines, including the triple accredited Newcastle University Business School.
