Our BA in Digital Media and Culture examines the interplay between digital technologies and cultural practices. You'll explore cutting-edge tech developments while gaining insight into the historical foundations that shaped today's digital landscape.
Modern life is deeply intertwined with digital platforms. Location-based apps redefine how we experience urban spaces. Social media influencers shape personal identity formation. Routine online actions - from sharing videos to reacting to content - contribute to the dominance of tech giants. We're discovering how racial, gender, and socioeconomic prejudices become encoded in the algorithms that govern our digital experiences.
This program is ideal for students passionate about investigating digital media concepts alongside renowned researchers.
You'll develop comprehensive knowledge of:
digital identity formation
influencer culture and algorithmic discrimination
geolocative media
internet meme phenomena
platform capitalism
research methodology development.
