Programme structure

All students take our two core Communication and Media modules in Year One. One of these focuses on analysing media texts and on media industries, while the other examines the social and political significance of the media and communication. You will develop your foundational understanding further with modules exploring language as communication, examining how media texts generate meaning and via a range of optional modules with a broad Communication and Media focus.

So, in Year One, you will be introduced to a variety of approaches to the study of media institutions, language, film and journalism, but the focus is also on developing study skills, learning how to use information resources and working independently and in groups.

All Communication and Media modules will be open to you in Years Two and Three. You can choose modules to suit your interests or focus on a specialist strand of study such as political communication, screen studies or English language.

In your final year, you may select the dissertation option and complete a piece of sustained, original work on a topic of your own choice. You will also be able to apply for a place on our assessed work placement scheme.
