Media BA (Hons)

Addressing the vast social, cultural and political developments in the media industries since the mass adoption of the internet, this degree examines the transformation in media production. If you are interested in making sense of the effects of the internet on our professional, social, economic and political lives, as well as the emerging technologies that are shaping the role of modern media, this is the programme for you. It provides an opportunity to discover how the traditional media channels of radio, film and television have been revolutionised by social media and new communication formats such as podcasting and vlogging and the ever-widening reach of streaming platforms like Spotify and Netflix. You will be immersed in the exciting forms of amateur, alternative and activist media which have emerged, flourished and entered the popular global consciousness, while exploring the considerable impact they have had on culture and politics.
