Understanding these media, how they work, and their products, platforms and practices, is key to understanding our culture and being prepared for the workplace of the future. We are surrounded by images, texts, messages, advertisements and apps that are increasingly tailored to us through various algorithms and artificial intelligences. In this innovative, interdisciplinary course, you’ll gain the theoretical tools to understand debates and controversies in areas such as digital media, journalism, environmentalism, gender, and politics. Combined with the practical research and creative skills to create and criticise a wide variety of culture and media forms, you’ll be well prepared for the growing number of careers in which the understanding of culture, media and audiences is important.
