Why study Media Management at Glasgow?

The MSc in Media Management at Glasgow offers a unique and internationally market-leading combination of specialist studies designed to hone the analytical skills and sector-specific knowledge of those interested in management careers in media and related fields.

The Media Management course is taught in a dedicated postgraduate centre, CCPR, one of the top-ranked Centres 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 Professor 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.  Our MSc programme is 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 provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the economic, managerial, legal and cultural frameworks within which Contemporary Media organisations and industries operate.
