Lectures are great and so is the social life at the campus.

I don't think whether I wrote the minimum or maximum amount of characters it would really capture what life at UEA was. The best experience of my life, for sure. That place is home, and that's the reason we flock back every year in December for Alumni LCR.

This course starts from the assumption that in order to understand modern politics, we need to understand the central role played by media. From Russell Brand's celebrity politics to Barack Obama's social media campaigns, contemporary politics are inextricably intertwined with all forms of media and communications. For some commentators, this is a worrying trend towards infotainment, for others it is evidence of a new and possibly more democratic way of doing politics. Our BA in Politics and Media Studies will provide you with the theoretical and analytical tools to understand this relationship. You will study in detail how contemporary media are changing the nature of politics, but also how political, social and economic interests shape the media industries.
The course will provide you with the critical and practical skills necessary to understand and engage with modern politics and modern media.
