It aims to explore:
- How does the media shape culture and society?
- What role does the media play in people's lives?
- Is the media creating a global culture?

- Are young people disconnected from traditional politics?
The Media and Communications course offered by Brunel University London focuses on the rapid changes in global media and communications and their social and cultural consequences within an international context.
Students have the opportunity to meet professionals working in the broadcast, advertising and marketing industries who visit us on campus and through organised field trips.
The MasterÕs course combines theoretical and empirical study of the media including issues of media audiences together with the study of developments in information and communication technologies.
