About this course


The course aims to enable understudies to: demonstrate an understanding of key terms and concepts relating to mass media, media culture and digital media (cf QAA Benchmarks Standards for Communication, Film, Media and Cultural Studies 4.5, 8.1);

demonstrate an awareness of the variety of approaches contained within media and communication studies (cf QAA Benchmarks Standards for Communication, Film, Media and Cultural Studies 4.1, 4.4, 4.5);

demonstrate an awareness of issues of ownership, access, interactivity, the influences of new media technology and the ideological implications of mediated culture (cf QAA Benchmarks Standards for Communication, Film, Media and Cultural Studies 4.3, 4.4);

demonstrate a critical understanding of how economic forces and cultural norms and assumptions influence producer, consumer and pro sumer behaviour in terms of media choice and creativity (cf QAA Benchmarks Standards for Communication, Film, Media and Cultural Studies 4.1, 4.3, 5.6);

Demonstrate an understanding of how technologies and media culture developed from the early 20th C until today and how these developments can be contextualised historically (cf QAA Benchmarks Standards for Communication, Film, Media and Cultural Studies 4.1, 4.2, 5.3, 5.3).


Studying Modern Languages opens the door to a wide variety of careers. Many Bangor Modern Languages graduates have, of course, gone into teaching and translating, but just as many have embarked upon successful careers in the civil service, business and commerce, industry and the media. The skills you learn whilst studying languages – cultural awareness, communication, accuracy, planning and logical analysis – are valued highly by employers from all sectors of the economy.

Course programme

What will you study on this course? 40 of your 120 credits each year will be in the minor subject. Your study of the Spanish language is the same in scope and number of credits as for single honours Spanish; you take fewer Spanish options in the second and final years, as your 40 credits in the other subject take their place. Residence Abroad: You will go to a Spanish-speaking country for the entire third year and the same options apply as for single honours Spanish. Modules for the current academic year Module listings are for guide purposes only and are subject to change. Find out what our students are currently studying on the Spanish with Media Studies Modules page.
