MBA: Media Management

The Course Programme Structure Staff Profiles Why YSJ ?

 

Why study the MBA: Media Management?

This award aims to develop learners’ potential for progression to a management role with a master’s level understanding of the importance of managing media in business. It is this understanding of how to manage the ever increasing choice of media that is essential to the development of business in the 21st Century. As globalisation increases and markets grow, the ability to identify which media vehicle is required to maximise a company’s message is crucial.

The specific Media modules that help create this discrete strand recognise the need for familiarity and intellectual engagement with new digital developments within the media industries whereby producers and consumers actively participate and interact with one another in a rapidly changing media landscape. Added to which, the global dimensions of the digital age require us to understand the possibilities and politics of mediated products and services that operate with both a local and global reach. These approaches will be embedded within practical experiences which encourage you as students to work as teams, developing and disseminating media products and services, allowing you to understand intellectual engagement through experiential involvement.
