Imagine a world with no media – no newspapers, broadcasters, mobile phones or tablets, no social media platforms or apps. Would it be anything like the world we currently inhabit? This is the sort of question you will ask on this course. You will explore the ways in which media, and their associated culture, shape, influence and even control the way people behave and the way societies are organised.
If you are curious about the power that media may wield in contemporary society, about how globalisation and media link, about how new identities and new ways of communicating are emerging through social media, then the BA in Society, Culture and Media may be just the course for you. This degree programme offers a great deal of choice in what you study. In your core modules you will investigate media power, the history of social and political thought, how to analyse TV, and you will acquire skills in social research. You will also build on that core foundation of skills and knowledge by choosing optional modules. These could include a foreign language or other aspects of media and culture, from topics such as gender and power, or digital media and society, to animation, journalism, American music, promotional culture, public opinion, digital politics, magazines, Japanese film, and much more besides. |
