Overview
The new Critical Media Studies programme from HSE University explores modern and contemporary media forms – from television and cinema to online social media – and how they shape societies, cultures, economics and politics. It encourages critical and interpretative methodologies associated with text analysis, political economy, cultural studies, visual culture and media ethnography. The programme employs approaches, methods and perspectives allowing for diverse media practices in contemporary and global landscapes to be analysed, highlighting issues surrounding class, gender and ethnicity.
During Studies
Students enrolled in the programme will gain expertise in the analysis of contemporary media production and consumption, while mastering the theoretical tools for reading media representations of different social groups in the wider global context. With a goal of enabling students to develop their critical, analytical and research skills, the programme curriculum includes three required core courses, research seminars, internships, seminar organizing and more than 10 elective courses.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of the programme will be well suited for careers in media or cultural institutions, academia, and the government sector, including as it relates to content creation, consulting, and directing in media and cultural organizations.
