BA (Hons) MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION

This is a course that’s strong on both theory and practice. As you undertake a wide-ranging exploration of all areas of 21st century media and communication, you’ll be encouraged both to think and to create.

You’ll engage with media production work across all levels of the degree, producing content in various forms, from computer-based photography to music and sound.

Our modules also offer specialist areas of study in TV, radio, film, music, publishing, marketing communications and social and digital media.

In your second year, you’ll have the chance to work in a group, studying London through a media lens and producing work such as our students’ innovative online blog this year. Then, in your final year, you’ll complete either a written dissertation or a production project.

Throughout the course, you’ll have a chance to broaden your knowledge through a variety of talks by industry professionals and you’ll have the chance to attend special events as well as visits to exhibitions and galleries.

There’s no better place in the country to study media and communication than London and we make every effort to ensure you get the full benefit from studying in this dynamic city.
