Media Studies seeks to analyse and understand the production, consumption, and content of a range of media including film, social media, television, popular music, and smartphones. Students will explore the formal characteristics of these media and their social, cultural, political and economic implications. Media Studies is taught through an innovative programme which blends theory with creative practice. The skills that students will develop throughout their study are versatile and highly sought after in many careers, with digital literacy becoming increasingly important across all sectors. STUDENTS WILL BE CHALLENGED TO: • Explore the ways in which media texts create meaning • Analyse the relationships between media and society and how this influences our views of the world • Communicate their findings effectively in speech and writing • Tackle open-ended questions where there are no simple right or wrong answers • Develop creative and critical approaches to producing media. Media Studies can be taken as a major or a minor in the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Communication degrees, or in a certificate or diploma programme. It can be taken at Massey’s campuses in Albany, Manawatü, and Wellington, or through Distance learning.
