Online Study
The programme is also available part-time as an online MSc/Dip, delivered in a flexible and purpose built learning environment. The online course is aimed at individuals who already work in the media, communications or cultural sector and would like to gain a wider analytical understanding of the contemporary media industries. Interdisciplinary in focus, the Department at Stirling has built up a range of expertise in marrying the disparate study of the media, culture, management, politics, economics, finance and law. The objective is to provide each student with both academic knowledge and critical understanding of how the media operate, what cultural questions are raised by digital technologies and globalisation and how media managers can deal with the rapid changes occurring in the industry.
