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.
