The University of Westminster, London, in cooperation with the Media Diversity Institute, will be running an MA in Diversity and the Media starting in September 2013. This highly innovative new course was launched in 2010 and has been running for 3 years. To apply for this course follow the link for Postgraduate Students at University of Westminster.
The length of this course is one-year, full-time or two years, part-time.
The MA Diversity and the Media course is offering an opportunity to study and research the main ways in which social scientists analyse the role of the mass media in the social construction, representation and understanding of difference and social diversity and get a critical understanding of the social and media structures and journalistic practices that impact upon these processes.
Some of the modules taught at the course are: Approaches to Social and Cultural Diversity, Sex, Violence and Politics, Reporting Diversity: Sexuality, Age, Disability, Reporting Diversity: Migration, Race, Ethnicity etc.
The course is designed to equip the students with a comprehensive conceptual/theoretical grounding and the practical skills to engage in responsible media coverage of diversity, to practice culturally informed and inclusive journalism and to develop a career (whether practical, strategic, or research-based) involving understanding and responding to the challenges of social diversity.
The fees for UK/EU students are £ 6215 and overseas fees are £12430 Scholarships and all sorts of financial help and grants are available. For more information on how to find a scholarship for MA Diversity and the Media, please click here.
