A core digital media studies component

We have designed a suite of units that provide you with a solid grounding in digital communication practice and research. You will learn about the history of the internet’s development worldwide, become adept at constructing and analyzing digital objects such as memes, learn about the workings of e-commerce and social media platforms, and gain experience in executing a digital media research project.
