Master of Computer Science (Game Engineering) (Hons)

at Newcastle University United Kingdom

This Cross-Cultural Communication and Media Studies MA provides theoretical, research and practical training in areas of international and intercultural communication and the media.

The Media Studies pathway is a specialism on the Cross-Cultural Communication MA. It lets you study media studies with intercultural communication.

Academic staff in media and cultural studies from the School of Arts and Cultures deliver this specialist pathway.

The pathway is suitable if you have some journalism and/or PR knowledge through your undergraduate studies or voluntary work. It is also suitable for journalists or PR professionals wishing to develop academic knowledge and research methods. The pathway draws on our research in media, communication and cultural studies.

It combines theory and practice of journalism, public relations practice, and theoretical analysis of the media. You'll develop skills and knowledge relevant to various aspects of media.

The degree is similar to our Earth Science BSc Honours, but includes a year of advanced study at master's level.

Earth science covers everything from the formation of rocks and minerals to the impact of human activity on the environment.

This degree prepares you for a wide range of possible careers – from geology to geomatics, and from geochemistry to environmental consultant. Whatever you choose, you'll be equipped with relevant skills in:

• experimental science
• fieldwork
• scientific investigation
• project management

Your final year research project will deepen your knowledge and enable you to work with internationally leading researchers and professionals.
