Media studies is an academic discipline that looks at the media in all of its different forms, and how it affects the world and our societies. Whilst media and mass media has been present in our lives for centuries, developments in recent decades have meant that media is ever available for our digestion, in an even wider variety of formats.
A postgraduate degree in media studies will allow you to develop the skills and knowledge you gained at undergraduate level. Modules you study might include law and ethics of media, history of media and cultural change, global media, and visual storytelling.
Home to some of the world's oldest universities, Italy has a long history of providing high quality higher education to both domestic and international students. The country has not only played an integral part of the Bologna Process education reform, it was also one of the four countries that created the European Area of Higher Education. Both of these play an important role in widening the access to higher education across Europe, with international students from all over the world now able to experience an Italian university education, thanks to the country's contributions.
