    PhD Programs in Media and Design

    A PhD is a high level of academic achievement that is typically considered the most advanced in any field. By continuing their education and completing a PhD program, students develop a thesis and gain a kick start to their careers. Several lower-level degrees are required before enrolling.

    What is a PhD in Media and Design? Programs focusing on this field usually place emphasis on both the practicality of working in design and hands-on creation. Students learn about the creation of media, choosing to specialize on one or two mediums, such as billboards, radio or television commercials, web design, or technical manuals. The design principles behind making information clear and easily consumable are a vital part of media and design.

    The career benefits of holding a PhD in Media and Design are far reaching. While a much higher salary is possible with a PhD, the primary benefit is in how qualified students become. Climbing the career ladder may take less time than without a doctorate degree.

    Tuition and cost for a PhD program varies quite a bit, meaning that research should be completed before enrolling. Some of the factors that influence cost include the specific school and program, as well as the country of study.

    The careers that are available to graduates depend on the field that they studied and which mediums they are comfortable working in. It is common to enter such positions as art director, editor, multimedia coordinator, advertising director, animator, project manager, or web designer. It is also possible to work on the management side of operations, rather than the creative side. It is important to think about what area you wish to work in while deciding which medium to study.
