With a Pathway in Cultural Industries

The MA Cultural Studies provides students with knowledge and understanding of the wide range of theoretical approaches that constitute the contemporary intellectual vocabulary of the field of cultural studies. It also develops awareness of the principles and practices of cultural policy and their application to the culture industry. Specialist knowledge and understanding of a range of research methods and cultural policies are supplemented by specific empirical examples. This methodological underpinning offers the means by which students are enabled to make the transition from undergraduate to research-based study.
