Course modules

You’ll be challenged to delve into the symbiotic relationship between social and technical transformations, and how they continue to shape one another. Through a theoretical and historical lens, you’ll reflect on how innovation impacts society and culture, and consider alternative digital futures with a critical mindset.

Together, we’ll explore how contemporary digital technology can both positively and negatively impact the world around us. You’ll identify how it can be harnessed to tackle today’s most pressing issues, from socioeconomic inequality to climate change.

Drawing on all the knowledge you’ve gained from your subsequent modules, you’ll formulate and delve into a specific line of enquiry. This will mostly involve independent study, but your tutors will guide you on establishing a research topic of your choice.

This module will encourage you to develop a deep understanding of the concept of artificial intelligence (AI). Together, we’ll also explore key developments and major debates in contemporary AI and applications in everyday life.

Study the global development of the games industries and gaming cultures. You’ll explore how different organisations – manufacturers, developers, publishers – intersect.

Looking at how media moves around the globe, you’ll learn about the key role that marketing, publishing and distribution play in the culture and creative industries.

This module will challenge you to develop a profound understanding of contemporary social media platforms, and how they affect digital marketing approaches. You’ll also hone a critical perspective on how social media activity and engagement is used to drive business.
