Explore the creative and critical processes provided by digital media with the Master of Arts in Critical Media Studies program. Taking a lab-based, hands-on approach, you’ll learn how to use digital media as a critical tool, combining theory and practice in the production of objects-to-think-with. The program operates primarily out of the English Department’s Critical Media Lab in the Communitech Hub in downtown Kitchener. You can choose from a coursework-based option or a master’s research paper option. The program's rich mix of theoretical and practical study will prepare you for a variety of careers in media industries, as well as in digital/social media positions within more traditional fields— private industry, government, educational organizations, and non-governmental organizations.
