The Media, Campaigning And Social Change MA at the University of Westminster is designed for individuals passionate about driving societal impact through strategic communication and activism. You will explore the critical interplay between media, politics, and social movements, developing a nuanced understanding of how campaigns are planned, executed, and analysed. This Master's degree is ideal for those seeking to deepen their theoretical knowledge and practical skills in areas such as media industries, new technologies, and global communications, preparing you to effectively engage with contemporary challenges.
This full-time, on-campus MA is studied over one year, immersing you in a dynamic learning environment. You will engage with three core modules covering critical issues in campaigning, media activism, and strategic communications, with assessments including campaign plans and reflective blogs. The programme culminates in either a 15,000-word research dissertation or a professional practice project, allowing you to apply your learning to a real-world context. You will graduate with advanced analytical abilities and practical campaign expertise, ready for careers in charities, NGOs, or public sector communications.
