In this degree you will work with leading scholars and creative practitioners to explore a global range of media industries and texts. You will master the current debates in the discipline, whilst developing the skills to produce your own media content. You will explore histories and theories of media, covering a diverse range of audio-visual, print and digital communications, and examining their social and aesthetic significance. Meanwhile in your creative practice work you will have the opportunity to gain skills in film-making, magazine publishing, radio and podcast production, creating promotional materials and digital media production. You’ll also have the chance to gain real-world experience and build industry contacts with an internship should you wish. Past students have undertaken placements at local radio stations, television production companies and the East Anglian Film Archive.
In your first year you’ll become familiar with the key approaches and debates in media studies. Then in your second and third years you’ll take more specialist modules, focusing on creative media and industries, and adaptation. You’ll also have the opportunity to undertake creative practice work and take optional modules in topics such as media adaptation, popular music, the magazine industry, promotional culture, celebrity, or audiences. There are opportunities to engage with video, radio, sound-based media, television studio work, and digital media. By the end of the degree you will have the intellectual and practical skills to either enter a job in the media or go on to postgraduate study |
