Course content

Are you fascinated by the media industries? In this MSc in Global Media Economics, you'll examine the worlds of film, literature, and TV from the perspective of economics. This Master’s course is part of our Applied Training Programme, designed to provide key skills in economics. You'll take modules covering economic concepts and econometrics, as well as specialist modules in the areas of media and communication. Through this work, you'll explore the economic and political contexts of global media and advance your analytical and numerical skills. You’ll apply what you’ve learnt on the course by writing a dissertation, which will be supervised by a member of the School of Economics.

We offer specialised structural support to help you negotiate your Master’s course. This includes compulsory, intensive pre-sessional training before the start of teaching on your course modules. This training incorporates the techniques of calculus and statistical methods in the economic context, and also introduces you to the specialist econometric software STATA that you'll use throughout your MSc Programme. Over the course of the year, we’ll also give you training in the use of various online data sources that are likely to be useful in your dissertation research.

In addition to receiving first-class academic training, you’ll be able to enjoy the wealth of opportunities that UEA offers to cultivate non-academic and sporting interests. You’ll also enjoy the beautiful and historic city of Norwich, where the campus is located.

You’ll graduate with the skills and edge required for a successful career in media – whether that’s as an account executive in advertising, a role in publishing, or in finance or management positions within broadcasting. The School of Economics will be proactive in providing support to you in shaping and supporting your career aspirations. Alumni and employers regularly visit the School of Economics and provide employability talks, training sessions as well as individual meetings with students, providing you with the chance to enhance your skills and to further improve your employment prospects in sectors like publishing, advertising, or management and finance in broadcasting.
