Overview

From cancel culture to digital activism, AI to algorithms - our Media BA explores all aspects of media and culture. This course combines digital content production with the study of how media shapes the world around us, preparing you for a career in the creative and cultural industries. You’ll get hands-on, creating your own films, podcasts, marketing pitches and portfolios. There’s plenty of opportunity to explore and experiment with different formats. Customise your degree to explore your interests with modules on social media, podcasting, gaming, celebrity culture, fan studies, film-making, film marketing, and more. And experiment with media formats of your own in our industry-standard facilities. Our professional links and commitment to employability mean you’ll graduate with not just a degree, but a portfolio of skills and experiences that prepare you for diverse careers across the creative industries. You’ll hear from industry professionals and make key contacts in organisations such as Google, the BBC and The Guardian at careers events, seminars and conferences. You’ll also develop valuable critical thinking and analytical skills, exploring the impact of social media on our everyday lives and asking how we can use digital media to change the world for the better. Choose to add a Year in Television and Online Broadcasting and you'll add a year of real work experience to your CV. You'll learn how to make content for TV, online and social media channels alongside experienced professionals.
