MA/MSc Broadcast Futures defines broadcasting in its widest industrial, creative, cultural and commercial sense. New technologies are being employed to redefine the nature of the product, its production and delivery. The course explores the application of new technologies, new platforms, new methodologies, and new business models and the opportunities they offer to the broadcast professional.
The course offers you the opportunity to individualise your learning and develop, manage and realise an individual project. You may choose to exploit new production opportunities, such as those afforded by our in-house iPTV station Push Television or using emerging technologies such as Wi-Fi, Wi-Max and G4. Alternatively, you may focus on business start-up projects such as launching a new channel, or developing a new platform for delivery.
The individual project will require you to research and develop your chosen specific area of study, and complete your course with a product that is supported and justified by a report putting your learning and product into a business/socio/cultural context.
You will relate and integrate the knowledge and experience gained in the taught units in technology and business studies into your main project developments, where you will contextualise your work and gain the appropriate level of knowledge, skills and working methods for a successful career in the broadcast industries.
