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) with Integrated Foundation.
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.

Some modules will be taken with students heading towards the same or related subject areas, while others will be taken with a blend of students – enabling you to mix with peers who bring a range of different perspectives and experiences to the classroom.
You’ll take two modules related to your subject area and eight shared modules covering key skills like communication, critical thinking, cultural understanding, politics, data, creativity and entrepreneurship.
