Course overview

As media expands, the world shrinks. Interconnectedness is more important than ever.

On our BA Media course you’ll examine how media in all forms – spoken and written words, television and music, drawing and animation – creates meaning and how media, across these mediums, can be used to broadcast a wide range of messages for different purposes. Our wide range of modules means you develop analytical and practical skills and with access to our industry-standard resources, you can create work of your own. You'll have the option to choose modules outside of your degree to match your interests.

You're taught by practitioners and researchers who contribute to contemporary debate through their publications and frequently appear on national news and television. This active involvement means our academics keep you in touch with a rapidly changing and expanding industry.

This course is also available with a year of working or studying abroad. It's also possible to spend a year working in industry in the UK.
