On this degree, you will study the history, nature, and impact of media and popular culture. You will investigate:
Power dynamics in contemporary media
How media responds to, and has implications on, pressing political and social issues
The impact of our ever-evolving digital culture on the world, individuals, and social and national identities
Issues surrounding the de-Westernisation of Media Studies, approaching media in a global context
The course includes many opportunities to get creative while also gaining employable skills. We encourage you to contribute to the writing, production, and marketing of our online magazine, Neutral, by working with industry professionals in these areas. You can also work with a graphic designer, developing an idea for an app and coming up with a rebranding project.
Throughout your study, you will enhance your learning through visits from industry experts and academic specialists who provide practical insights into media in various commercial and creative contexts. You can also take part in events and field trips that let you explore media cultures locally, nationally, and internationally. This includes a subsidized international trip in your final year.
