About Digital Media and Society, MA - at University of Sheffield

Investigate the latest digital media developments, data, and algorithms through the lens of prominent social issues, such as gender, race, health, intimacy, surveillance and activism. This course will advance your skills in qualitative, quantitative and digital research methods.

Develop your understanding of how digital media interacts with society from a sociological perspective.

Our academic staff bring their research into the classroom and encourage you to explore the most pressing digital media debates. You’ll gain an advanced understanding of key aspects of digital media, including how to research digital society, and utilise key digital practices and methods.
