You may also get involved in many regional events for example, the Harrogate Film Festival, the Ilkley Literature Festival or the Leeds West Indian Carnival.

Your course is delivered through a number of modules, which will help you to plan your time and establish a study routine. Outside of your lectures, workshops and tutorials, a range of support is available to assist with your independent study. Our subject-specific librarians will be on hand to direct you to the specialist learning and study-skill resources. You’ll also be assigned an academic advisor to give you tailored feedback and support.

Career Prospects

This course will provide you with an excellent platform from which to enter a wide range of careers in education, media and communications, the arts, marketing and business development, amongst others. Your transferable skills in analysis, communication, research and teamworking will be sought after by employers in many sectors. You could also pursue postgraduate study in an area related to your degree or a vocational subject such as journalism, teaching or IT.
