• Students will study two core modules that lay the foundations of the course, exploring theoretical approaches to communication and media. One of these will consider issues such as de-westernising media and communication studies, interpersonal communication, media and power and the concept of the public sphere. they will then use these theories to take a critical approach to real-world issues, as well as developing your own perspectives on topics that interest you.
  • On top of this, students will build specialist knowledge through their choice of optional modules. These can include topics such as feminism, identity and media, media and globalisation, promotional media and media production analysis. The optional modules allow them to focus on topics that suit their own interests or perhaps reflect their career aspirations.
  • Throughout the course, students will prepare for their dissertation through the Dissertation and Research Methods module.
