The following course information is for students applying for entry in September 2023. If you're looking to start a similar course in September 2022 at Year 1 (Level 4), refer to BA (Hons) Liberal Arts (Media & Communications).
This course examines the powerful influence media and communications have socially, culturally and politically – a constantly evolving and hugely relevant topic.
You’ll gain a solid grounding in media history, theory and development, while examining current trends and debates, discovering new analysis techniques and research methods, and exploring media law and regulatory issues in relation to new and established media.
Creative workshops will teach you how to produce industry-standard communications, journalism, video, photography, and social and digital media, as well as content for new and emerging platforms – so you're able to tell stories, evaluate changes, critically reflect on the roles of consumers and creators and collaborate on a variety of media projects.
London is one of the world’s greatest media cities. Your studies will be enhanced by field trips, masterclasses and guest lectures from industry experts, providing valuable insights and connections.
You’ll graduate as a multi-skilled media professional, with a broad foundation as well as highly specialist skills, able to work in a range of positions within this rapidly evolving industry.
In the Integrated Foundation year, you'll gain a solid grounding in academic principles and skills. Building upon this foundation, you'll be well prepared to go on to develop specialist knowledge in your chosen course.
It's structured around discipline knowledge, with extra modules that introduce you to the transferable skills you'll need at degree level and beyond – giving you a solid grounding in liberal arts and media.
Once you've successfully completed your Foundation year, you'll be able to progress to any of our business, social sciences, humanities or media undergraduate courses.
Building on this foundation, you’ll develop specialist knowledge in your chosen course.
This course is subject to validation.
