课程特征 Course Features：
The MA is designed as an advanced training in media and cultural studies. It is aimed at those with a relevant undergraduate degree who wish to advance their study (an option-only route is available), and also those who wish to enter the field for the first time.
课程内容 Course Content ：
The MA is structured either around a two-term core course plus one option in each of the first two terms or, for graduates in media and cultural studies, there is the alternative of taking two options per term. In the summer term, you undertake a supervised dissertation.
The two-term core course Media Theory and Research offers an opportunity to study thematic, conceptual, methodological and institutional issues. At its centre is a concern with communication as a process: with the production, consumption and regulation of social and cultural definitions, meanings and values in modern society and in everyday life. Though it concentrates on contemporary media and culture, its concerns are also historical and extend to wider social and political processes.
In the autumn and spring terms, you take either the core course and one option, or two options, which may include Approaches to Film Noir ▪ Cinema: Histories, Institutions and Technologies ▪ The Cinematic Body ▪ Culture, Experience, History ▪ Emotion, Representation and Culture ▪ European Media in Transition ▪ Feminism and Film ▪ Gender and Representation ▪ Global Cinema ▪ Inside Hollywood ▪ Latin American Cinema ▪ Media Audiences ▪ Media, Technology and Everyday Life ▪ Promotional Culture ▪ Queering Popular Culture ▪ Rethinking European Cinema ▪ Science, Technology, Culture.

As well as two term papers of 5,000 words each for the core course, you write a 5,000-word term paper for each of the options. You also write an 18,000-word dissertation.
