Program Overview


MSc Media Management with Pre-Master's

University of Stirling

Combining your preparation studies with your postgraduate degree in a single two-year study plan. A single CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) means that you'll study on one visa for the entire programme – you don’t have to pay for flights home to renew your visa after Year 1 and can stay in the UK to work over the summer.


A range of alternative English language qualifications to IELTS are accepted for entry to this programme. You can also choose a study plan option with an additional term of Pre-sessional English.


Key Information

  • A single study plan, meaning students can apply for one visa for the full duration of the programme.
  • Develop specialist subject knowledge through teacher and student-led workshops and attend specialist lectures and seminar sessions at the university.
  • Explore research areas of interest at an early stage to pursue in more detail once continuing to the degree.
  • Develop research and analytical skills with one-to-one supervision.
  • After successful completion of Year 1 of the study plan, continue directly to the Master's degree.
