Masters degrees in Television Studies equip postgraduates with the skills to analyse, create, and adapt content for television viewing. These programmes also consider the economic significance and governance of TV as a media platform. Typically, taught MA courses are offered, with entry requirements usually including a relevant undergraduate degree such as Media Studies.
Masters courses in this field are generally theoretical in nature, with less emphasis on providing extensive vocational experience. Academic training typically involves analysing the role of television as a significant communication platform, both economically and culturally. For example, students may examine the ethical implications of the 9 PM watershed or evaluate television's contribution to modern mass communication.
Different types of television content, such as drama, documentary, journalism, and children’s programming, are explored, particularly concerning adaptation and production. Students will also analyse the governance and economic structures of the television industry in relation to contemporary issues.
Traditional career paths for graduates include screenwriting and adaptation, moving image curation, programming, and news reporting. Legislative roles within television broadcasting agencies are also viable options.
