媒体产业硕士

媒体在娱乐和告知公众方面起着重要作用
The media play an important role in entertaining and informing the public, but they also make up a global industry that employs millions of people. This course will give you an insight into both aspects of the media industries, as you critically analyse their cultural and economic dimensions. You'll explore the full range of media production, from individual bloggers to independent production companies to huge corporations. Taking an international approach, informed by cutting-edge theories, you’ll study the development of contemporary media to understand current trends such as platformisation, influencer culture, content streaming and social media. It’s an interdisciplinary course, drawing on communication and cultural studies, economics, sociology, anthropology, business and management studies, human geography, politics, law, literature, and music. Guided by internationally renowned and active researchers in the field, many of whom are involved in our Media Industries and Cultural Production Research Centre, you’ll gain an insight into how television, film, music, online media, newspapers, magazines and advertising are produced, and what it’s like to work in each industry. Please refer to the application deadlines. Staff at the School of Media and Communication Leeds are experts in media industries research and are involved in many national and international research projects. This gives you the chance to learn from some of the top global researchers in this field of study.

FacilitiesYou'll also have access to Helix, the University's learning innovation hub for students, staff, and the local community. Located in the heart of campus, Helix offers cutting-edge digital provision, including immersive technologies, multimedia production studios, as well as a physical makerspace. You'll be able to bring your own initiatives and ideas to life through collaboration, creation and innovation.
