Master of Arts [M.A] [Media Studies] From Victoria University of Wellington

Delve deeper into the mediated world and hone your skills in independent research and critical analysis. Explore media policy in New Zealand and around the world, investigate new media technologies or start your own research project in an area of media that interests you.

Discover the academic research related to the international news media, visual and popular cultures or examine the relationship between media, space and place. You can look at the historical, social and aesthetic significance of new media technologies and platforms or explore the relationship between media, social movements and social change.

You can focus on how media consumption has become part of everyday life and how everyday life is represented in the media. Examine the role media plays in relation to identity and subjectivity by analysing cultural production, media representation, social norms and audience reception.
