Course Overview

Studied in combination, these subject areas enable you to study English literature in the varied contexts of its products alongside the media forms and phenomena that shape and reflect contemporary society. English Literature at Worcester will introduce you to cutting-edge thinking in spheres as diverse as Shakespeare in performance, children's literature, contemporary American writing, and ecocriticism. Media & Culture examines how the media, TV, and digital communication shape society, its values, and politics €“ and, as a result, identity and human experience.

Graduates of Media & Culture courses work in a wide range of careers to which communication skills are central, including marketing and public relations, publishing, media and journalism, business and industry, charities, and public administration. Furthermore, in a ‘media society’, where an understanding of how to communicate is all-important, graduates of media and cultural studies courses now work in a wide range of other industries and are involved in designing websites, writing publicity and press material, and running media training. With employment sectors including marketing, public relations, event management, teaching, business, and the public sector, it is perhaps unsurprising that 'Media Studies' is now identified as one of the top ten degree subjects for producing employable graduates.
