Masters of Arts in Media Studies
The MA in Media Studies at Wits is a research-only degree, with no coursework components. Those admitted to the programme are required to conceptualise and undertake a major research project in close collaboration with their supervisor, culminating in a 50,000-word dissertation.
Admission to this programme is limited to students with a strong Media Studies background and an average score of 70% in a BA Honours programme. We do consider candidates with Honours degrees in areas other than Media Studies, provided that there is existing training in the social sciences and humanities, and a clear rationale for the interest in Media Studies. 雷速体育_雷速体育直播s can only be admitted after an admissions writing test has been written, and if there is an appropriate supervisor available. The degree can be undertaken part or full-time.
