BA (Hons) Media Studies

Media shapes our lives, today more than ever before. As the world becomes increasingly connected and fast-paced, studying Media Studies has never been more relevant and important. At UEA, we’ve created an exciting course designed to equip you with the critical and creative skills needed to thrive in today’s digital workplace.

Our friendly and supportive academic team combines world-leading researchers and experienced media professionals. Their cutting-edge insights in media analysis and creative industry practice offer you a powerful blend of expert knowledge and practical skills. You'll engage with essential concepts, theories and debates in media studies as well as hone your media production skills.

This could be in film or TV production, podcasting, radio, or other digital media forms. Our dedicated resource for digital creativity, known as BLOC, provides access to state-of-the-art media technologies, including UEA’s Television Studio and Media Suite, enabling you to develop skills in using a variety of media tools. You'll also have the chance to gain real-world experience as our internship scheme provides an opportunity to work and network with industry professionals.

Norwich is a vibrant regional media hub and previous UEA students have interned at a range of companies, both local (e.g., Eastern Daily Press, Forward) and international (Warner Bros).
