Media BA (Hons)
Media offers an exciting and intellectually
rigorous degree programme that helps us interrogate how media and
culture affect who we are, and how we understand ourselves and the
world around us. On this degree you learn not only how to analyse
and debate the media, but also how to engage with it in a variety
of ways – from writing in a number of styles for a range of
audiences and platforms, producing digital material and creating
images and film.
You can study our Media programme as a
Specialist degree and as part of a Joint Honours degree
