Course Overview

The world we live in is dominated by media in many forms: From entertainment and culture through news and social media to politics and promotion, the media shapes our understanding of what we know and what we consume. Whether you want to work in one of these areas, to research their impact or simply to understand more about our relationship with media, this programme provides a thorough introduction with plenty of opportunities to develop specialist skills.A wide range of optional modules allow students to pursue their own interests and focus on particular media and communication forms, analysing how they are organised as text, how they represent the world to us and ourselves to the world (from global power politics to constructions of individual identity), and how the media industries are organised to produce and profit from them. But we teach all of our students to acquire strong research skills and they are given the opportunity to practice them through independent or collaborative research.This programme can also be studied over four years, with the third year spent on a relevant, salaried work placement. Visit the BA Communication and Media with a Year in Industry course page for further information. Students can transfer to the Year in Industry version of the programme after their first year if they wish.
