The programme is all about blending contemporary emerging media production, cutting-edge research and academic thoughtfulness to foster fresh approaches that help students find exciting new ways to create, communicate and share stories.
Our students learn and create in an energetic environment, fitted with state of the art multimedia production equipment and technologies that expand creative horizons.
By delving into the latest research, which examines the deep relationship between society and technology through the investigation of digitisation, internet and media cultures and the integration of digital technologies into everyday life, students gain the skills to navigate, analyse, and actively contribute to our ever-changing media landscape and contemporary society.
This practice-based approach to learning and making provides a solid foundation for our students' learning and future in the industry.
The success of the MSc in Emerging Media contributes to DCU's School of Communications recent ranking in the top 200 communications schools worldwide, and the only Irish media/communications School ranked in the QS World University Rankings.
