Media and Communication Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

From television and radio to streaming, social media, gaming, and artificial intelligence, media are constantly evolving — reshaping the ways we connect, work, and understand the world around us.

This course will give you theoretical insight into media and communications as well as the opportunity to gain practical experience of creative media making. You’ll study key theories and debates about the role of media in society, methods to research their application and also have the opportunity to gain hands-on skills in content creation, storytelling, and digital production.

This blend of critical understanding and research skills coupled with the opportunity for creative practice will empower you to both analyse and produce innovative, research-informed content.

You’ll develop:

* Strong research and analytical skills to understand audiences, industries, and culture.

* Creative and technical abilities to design and deliver professional media content.

* Confident communication skills to express ideas clearly across multiple formats and platforms.

By the time you graduate, you’ll be equipped for a wide range of careers across the media and communications industries — from journalism, public relations, and marketing to digital media, production, and beyond.

* Designed with your employability in mind, this course will teach you research and communication skills, creativity, and production techniques.

* Select a route through this degree in Creative Writing, Drama, English Literature, Film Studies, History or Journalism. These carefully chosen routes will complement and enrich your understanding of your main subject, alongside broadening your skillset to give you a wider range of career paths upon graduation.

* Access a range of multimillion-pound facilities, including editing suites, TV studios, radio studios, dark rooms, blue and green screen studios and video production laboratories.

* Gain valuable international experience as part of your studies with our DMU Global programme. Previous Media and Communication students have immersed themselves in Hollywood’s fan culture, learned about Berlin’s fascinating media history and explored TV archives in New York.
