It is now more important than ever to understand the role and influence of media within society. Drawing on concepts explored by the social sciences, humanities, cultural studies, philosophy, anthropology and economics, to name but a few, Media Studies is a field that combines both theoretical and practical studies, dealing with the ownership, construction, critical theory and wider effects of the media in general. Using new-media and real-world examples, you will learn to undertake detailed research, plan, produce and present work, build skills in digital technologies while developing and demonstrating your creativity. The highly transferable skills you will develop can be applied across a wide range of other areas. This course places contemporary media in a historical context and and will provide you with an understanding of the key media concepts of language, representation, narrative, audiences and institutions. Looking at a variety of media forms, from film to print to the internet, you will engage in discussions, debates, case studies and personal research. You will also produce an assessed practical project in each year – a music magazine and either a film trailer or music video.
