卡迪夫大学近期收到许多数字媒体与社会（MA Digital Media and Society）申请，其中学生提交的个人陈述并没有充分体现对专业的理解/兴趣。请注意，卡迪夫大学新闻，媒体与文化研究学院除了会考量学生的院校背景、GPA等，也会参考个人陈述对于专业的理解来进行综合评估。以下内容来自课程导师，希望可以帮助学生更好的理解这个专业： 

“数字媒体与社会这个专业是以理解、学习数字媒体及其对于社会、政治、经济和文化环境的影响为理论/学术基础，并寻求如何解决当前热门领域的担心，例如如何使用/利用大众媒体、大数据、共享经济、隐私与政府监控，互联网治理、数字权限和公民新闻等。课程导师只会接受在个人陈述中清晰的表述出对于数字媒体、互联网、社交媒体及其对于社会的影响感兴趣的申请。这个课程不包含任何实习。请将这些信息传递给学生，希望他们真正了解课程内容。”

The Course Director can only accept applicants whose Personal Statement demonstrates very clearly their interest in digital media, internet, social media and its impact on society.
