Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Communication and Media

Students will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of 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.

During the first year, students will develop their foundational understanding and academic skills through core modules in media, communication and language. As the degree progresses, students will have the opportunity to tailor their studies through a wide range of optional modules in topics such as political communication, screen media, virtual worlds, digital cultures, media writing, language and public relations.

Many of the modules seek to develop practical skills – such as media writing, blogging and video-making – alongside academic skills.
