From print and broadcast media to cinema and television, digital publishing, social networking, and public relations, the media increasingly defines the way we interact with our society. It shapes the way we see ourselves and others, and can be a powerful tool for social change, good and bad. Media and Communication at Swansea has a broad vocational, theoretical and international outlook that reflects the challenges and opportunities of our media-rich world.

The Year in Industry takes place before the final year and offers students the opportunity to seek a paid one-year placement in a media and communication work place environment. The College Employability office supports students in finding placements and also provides regular contact with students whilst on placement. All year in industry students take a compulsory module in the second year which focuses on professional development including CV writing, application best practice, interview techniques and how to research industry sectors.
