Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Media and Communications

Students will be able to apply themselves to many different aspects of media and communications and they'll be working on live briefs, responding to real life challenges in the industry.

Students will spend time creating media content, such as advertising and public-relations campaigns, blogs and digital design pieces, including short films and apps.

To develop their analytical and research skills, students will learn techniques relating to questionnaire surveys, focus groups and interviews and they'll explore the meanings of advertisements, texts or films, and how media organisations work.

Working both independently and as part of a team, students'll develop the management, project planning and team-working skills that are essential for any future role in the industry.

The graduates have gone on to work in local and national media, journalism, PR agencies, events promotion, advertising, media planning, media relations, media sales, the music press, online publishing, press and publicity offices, corporate communications, external relations, graduate management, and market research. Some of the graduates have continued projects that were developed as part of the degree. Students will be well placed for further study to undertake Masters or Doctoral degrees or teacher training.
