At master’s level you are able to study media as a stand-alone subject, and it is usually offered as an MA.

Most master’s programs will take one or two years to complete, and a PhD can take up to six years of study.
Some programs let you add an extra year that you can spend working in industry gaining valuable experience. Most modules will be delivered through lectures, small group seminars, workshops and practical production sessions. Common assessment methods include essays, oral presentations, portfolios and exams.
