Media studies analyses the production, consumption and content of a range of media including film, social media, television, popular music and smartphones. You will explore the formal characteristics of these media and their social, cultural, political and economic implications. Media studies is taught through an innovative programme that blends theory with creative practice. The skills you will develop with this major are versatile and highly sought-after in many careers, with digital media literacy becoming increasingly important across all sectors. You’ll become a media-shaper who can do as well as think. Your lecturers are internationally published experts in their fields, which collectively span the breadth of contemporary media studies. We use media theories both as a springboard for exploring a range of media forms and to guide you through the practice of creating your own media products such as short films and documentaries.
