Whether your passion lies in global justice, humanitarian action, or digital innovation, our innovative MA in Media, Communication and Global Development empowers you with the tools to tackle some of today’s most urgent global challenges. This course delivers a powerful mix of theory and hands-on experience, designed to launch your career in media and global development. You’ll gain invaluable project management skills by working on a real-world ‘media and development’ project with a leading business, charity, or media organisation. Plus, you can boost your CV with a rewarding work placement and specialised professional courses like Participatory Photography and Mobile Filmmaking. You’ll also learn how media is used as a tool of persuasion, dialogue, advocacy and democratic accountability by studying key topics including media freedom, NGO fundraising, international journalism, participatory communication and behavior change communication. This MA was the first of its kind in the UK - helping to pioneer the study of media and development. Since then, it’s become a globally recognised programme, attracting students from around the world. This course is housed in the School of Global Development, a world-leading centre for research, teaching, and practice, ranked as the No.1 Development Studies institution in the UK (REF 2021). Based in the beautiful city of Norwich, UEA is an inspiring place to study. Here, you’ll join our close-knit world-class academic community, where you can get involved in dozens of clubs and societies including UEA:TV, Livewire 1350 and the Concrete newspaper. In 2026-27, we'll also run an exciting optional, partly subsidised fieldtrip to the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, Italy.
