The MA Global Media and Management is a course that combines Media Communications and International Management Studies with marketing skills and creative media practice. This MA will provide you with an interdisciplinary understanding of media management in an international context: equipping you with an understanding of the global media business environment, the skills of organising diverse cross-cultural work places and professionals, and developing marketing strategies; all of which are necessary for meeting the organisational goals of increasingly complex cultural industries. You will leave with the in-depth understanding of global media and production, of different business and management approaches within the global economy and the skills needed to manage these processes. This combination of theory and practice will enable you to pursue a career in the media and cultural industries with a particular emphasis on management and/or marketing. The MA enables you to benefit from research-led teaching in the areas of Media Communications and Internal Business Management. Modules are generally taught through a combination of seminars, workshops, small group discussions, individual supervision and computer laboratory classes. Practical use is made of standard educational software and data sources. There is a strong emphasis on independent learning and students are expected to work on their own to produce work. Assessment is diverse through the use of essays, skills portfolios, reflective diaries, exams, workbooks, presentations, marketing plans and reports, and practical projects.
