Our Master of Social Sciences programme in Media, Culture & Creative Cities [MSocSc(MCCC)] provides an innovative sociologically-grounded approach to understanding the central role of media, culture and creativity in a world city context. Our programme provides academic and professional training for students and practitioners in the fields of media, culture and creative industries, and a foundation for advanced research degree studies in these areas.

​

Our programme is particularly ideal if you:

• Intend to start, or already have, a career in media and culture related fields

• Work in business, government and other non-cultural fields but want to increase your conceptual understanding of, and skills in, media and cultural studies

• Are a graduate from related disciplines of sociology, anthropology, journalism, urban studies, or media and cultural studies wishing to pursue further research

​

In this programme, we aim to provide you with:

• Theoretical knowledge for understanding how media, culture, and creative cities function in today’s global society

• Skills to allow you to conduct original and rigorous research on media, culture, and creative cities

• Exposure, connections, and career prospects in related fields

• The ability to analyse, and contribute to, related policy discussions in order to have an impact upon government, industry, and civil society

​

Capstone project is the centrepiece of the MCCC programme. You will conduct a research project in collaboration with a leading company/organisation in the field of media and culture. This is a valuable experience where you can integrate and apply the theories and knowledge acquired through the programme in a real-life context, as well as acquire practical skills and connections in the field.
