A new master’s degree in media management has been launched by a university.

Queen Margaret University, in Musselburgh, has launched the course, which focuses on “developing an understanding of media and creative businesses and the global environment in which they operate”.

The degree aims to equip graduates with the business skills required to pursue a management career in the media and creative industries.

The course is led by Professor Philip Drake who has taught and led similar successful courses at Edge Hill, Middlesex and Stirling Universities.
