BA (Hons) Media Studies

University of Hull, United Kingdom

Course Overview

In this course, you'll master creative production skills, and you'll explore the economic, cultural, and historical relationship between media and society.

Combining filmmaking and TV production with analysis of screen media, our course is a stimulating mix of areas. So, as well as getting hands-on to learn about practical elements like cinematography and editing, you’ll also examine news, documentaries, and the representation of gender in media. You’ll also analyze the way that media industries are organized and structured, and what you need to do to get ahead.

Here, you'll benefit from facilities such as Middleton Hall, where we've invested £9.5 million to create a world-class concert venue, cinema, and theatre space, with full video production capabilities. That's as well as our studio facilities and media labs, home to the latest digital media software and hardware used in the industry today. You'll also have access to our dedicated on-campus TV, film, and digital media facilities.

Our links with organizations such as Screen Yorkshire's Connected Campus can help prepare you for life in the industry through masterclasses, workshops, and visiting speakers.

Creativity lives and breathes at the University of Hull. Always has done, always will. It’s central to what universities do. But at Hull, we’re building something that goes far beyond our four walls.
