Overview

Taught 100% online, this flexible Media, Ethics and Social Change (Online) program at University of Sussex offers you the opportunity to study from wherever you are in the world. Designed for professionals striving to progress their career and make a real impact, you’ll graduate with the confidence to lead change and challenge the status quo.

The program offers you the opportunity to engage with the ways in which digital media is both transforming the world and is a medium for transformation. It will teach you how to use digital media in a meaningful way to bring about positive change across various sectors.

You will study the intersection of three key phenomena in modern societies:

the desire for social change
the role in digital media in helping change to happen or preventing change from happening

the underlying ethical principles that guide our interactions with one another, the larger world, and the digital technologies.

Career opportunities

The course has been designed to give you the broad range of skills employers desire. Digital marketers and journalists will enhance their knowledge and use of digital platforms to reform the ways they work and bring more ethical practices to their workplace.

You will receive career-related content on our VLE and relevant web pages, as well as tailored one-to-one career consultations and workshops delivered digitally.

With the knowledge and practical skills you’ll gain from this course, you will be well placed to take the next step in your career.

Many of the ambitious alumni are now in managerial positions in the UK and overseas at Bloomberg News, Citibank, the BBC, Yahoo! Japan, Oracle, and Fleet Entertainment Group. As a graduate from the University of Sussex, you will join a global network of alumni who continue to support and enhance each other’s development and careers long after graduating.
