Masters/MSc in Media Management

The Masters degree course in Media Management at Glasgow University is a one year full-time taught postgraduate course. We are currently processing applications for the MSc in Media Management degree for entry in mid-September 2010.

The Media Management course is taught in a dedicated postgraduate centre, CCPR, located within Theatre, Film and Television Studies, one of the top-ranked departments in these fields in the UK and the best major one of its kind in Scotland, with 85% of our work classified either as ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ in the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) of 2008.

Led by Course Director Dr Gillian Doyle, the creator of the first media management programme in the UK and an international expert in media economics, the Masters in Media Management at Glasgow offers a unique combination of advanced level media and management-related studies with a special focus on media economics and on media and cultural policy. Since leaving Stirling University and joining the University of Glasgow in 2007, Dr Doyle and Co-director Dr Raymond Boyle have developed a programme taught by a team of specialist experts in both CCPR and the University of Glasgow’s Business School and Law School.  This innovative one-year course offers an academically rigorous experience and aims to hone the analytical skills and sector-specific knowledge of those interested in management careers in the media sector.

The programme has excellent links with industry through a range of regular speakers and visitors to the research centre. In 2009/10 we will have key visitors speaking to media management students from companies such as the BBC, Channel 4 TV, the Financial Times, UK Communications regulator Ofcom, ACT Europe, MTV Europe, The Sunday Herald, the Press Complaints Commission and the British Film Institute. Honorary Professors on the course include David Booth of MTV and Chris Llewellyn, President of FIPP (the International Federation of the Periodical Press).
