About the course

Digital technologies have transformed the ways we share and distribute information, understand the past, interact with each other and spend our leisure time. The digital world has changed the terms of engagement in areas as diverse as politics and culture: while it can function as a force for good in democratising participation, production, and sharing, it can also be exploitative, introducing new forms of control and surveillance. As the digital world pervades all aspects of our lives, traditional media and analogue culture are being reshaped in new and complex interrelationships. The master's programme in Media Studies: Digital Cultures (MS:DC) combines theory and reflection with praxis and making. It will provide you with a wide skill set in digital tools and research methods to become both a media researcher and an active player in today’s digitally-mediated world.

Entry Requirements

For the master's programme in Media Studies: Digital Cultures, admission is based on your quality and suitability. For this, your motivation, previous education and (professional) experience are important. You qualify for admission if you have a bachelor’s degree from a relevant academic field: media or communications studies, film or television studies, history, social science, humanities or liberal arts.
