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, popular culture and educational creative media practices in the digital age.
Students will learn concepts of digital media, media literacy, creativity, and popular culture, and how these are used by film and media educators in global contexts. Theory and practice are linked throughout the degree; students will critically engage with, and produce, creative media texts such as short films and blogs, working alongside UCL and British Film Institute tutors.
Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits: two compulsory core modules, two optional modules, and a Dissertation or shorter Report.
The degree includes two compulsory modules (30 credits each); two optional modules (30 credits each); a 20,000-word Dissertation (60 credits); or a 10,000-word Report (30 credits), allowing an additional 30-credit module. Optional modules are also available from the IOE's English Education MA and Education and Technology MA subject to availability.
Upon successful completion of 180 credits, you will be awarded a MA in Digital Media: Education.
