Description:

There has never been a greater need for graduates who understand the complexities of the modern world; but who can keep pace with the latest trends and debates and have the creativity and practical skills to manage emerging media technologies. Relevant to today’s media dominated culture, you’ll learn more about how various media functions and examine the philosophical issues surrounding our attempts to represent the world, as well as the legal and ethical framework in which it operates. You’ll develop practical and theoretical knowledge of how various media techniques are implemented, whilst exploring and challenging the assumptions that frame the way we think, act and see the world around us.



You’ll benefit from being part of a lively and active academic community which includes active researchers of international standing, who bring their own passion for their discipline into the classroom, and dynamic teachers with extensive industry experience. In Philosophy, our small group teaching helps you to find your feet in the academic environment. There are plenty of opportunities to discuss critical issues with staff and fellow students. In Media, delivery varies according to the characteristics of each module. Many are taught via weekly lectures followed by seminars, which allow for more in-depth investigation, discussion and active learning amongst peers and academic experts. Workshops are standard for the practical modules, where the skills taught are enhanced by the supervision of experts in their field.
