Course summary

From television and film to audio and mobile communication, modern life is being reshaped by the media and communication environment. It influences how we work, relax and relate to those around us. Our course takes you to the heart of this world.The course looks at the media's increasing reach and influence, providing you with the knowledge and skills to make sense of this dramatically and swiftly changing sector. Thanks to our close industry links, you'll have the chance to undertake valuable work-based learning while on placement. We're proud that, based on recent research carried out by The Times, we're in the top seven courses in the country for media and communication. We like to think we're getting even better. As one of our students, Shaheen Abdouramane, says, "The course is extremely broad and is adaptable to suit the path you wish to take, whether it's media production, cultural studies, gender, race, journalism, advertising or a mixture of all of them.This is a media course that's strong on both theory and practice. As you undertake a wide-ranging exploration of all areas of 21st-century media and communication, you'll be encouraged both to think and to create.You'll be taught by a range of staff, many of whom are practitioners in the area they teach. Some of the assessments focus on practical skills and are presented as 'live or simulated briefs.' This ensures that the practice-led teaching is relevant to industry and the world of work. Our staff are well placed to take advantage of a range of professional networks and industry contacts. Each module is designed with practical components and a reflective component, with the intention that students develop an ability to comment on and justify their creative process.You'll engage with media production work across all levels of the degree, producing content in various forms, from computer-based photography to music and sound.Our students have gone on to jobs in television, film, journalism, publishing companies, advertising and public relations as well as careers in teaching and education.Our course is also an excellent stepping stone to postgraduate study and research, including UEL's PhD and master's programmes, or to further training in other areas such as communications management, marketing, marketing communications, education and law.
