Course overview
Media and communication are at the heart of our culture, society, and democracy. We consume news from TV and X (formerly Twitter) in moments of crisis, rely on the cinema and streaming for entertainment, and connect using social media. Film is still one of the most prominent and popular forms of media, it has the power to entertain, challenge, inspire, shock, and educate.
That’s why you love it. It’s why we love it, too. On this course, you’ll gain a blend of analytical, creative, and technical skills, designed to help you become an expert when it comes to understanding and using the media.
You will be able to focus in on film in a global, digital media landscape. We’ve created this degree to reflect the many different media careers you can follow, and you can tailor your studies to pursue what you’re most passionate about.
