BA lecturers explain the significance and purpose of studying Journalism, the Media and Cultural Studies.
It is indisputable that the modern mass media is an important area of serious study. With this in mind, our undergraduate programme responds to an ever-increasing demand for media courses which help students to understand and comment on the various roles performed by the media in their own, and other, societies.
Taking an analytical approach, the modules we have here are varied and numerous - we offer courses in subject areas as diverse as Advertising and the Consumer Society; Horror, Fantasy and the Media; Politics and Journalism. Also, though the undergraduate programme is not a training or vocational degree, there are opportunities to take modules which involve online work and writing for media.
The staff we have here are first class and many are of international renown and reputation. Indeed, many of the books or journal articles you will read (or maybe already have read!) will have been written by our academics.
