Course summary

How media is made, who makes it, how it is consumed, and whose interests it serves are key questions you will explore in Media and Communication. These questions have significant implications for which stories and voices are prioritised and which are overlooked in the world you live in. In a media landscape that’s constantly evolving, and where media is accessible everywhere, these questions become even more important for those wanting to understand the media and those aiming to work in it. The transferable, critical, and technical skills you’ll gain during the course will prepare you for post-graduate study, work in the media industry, and many other sectors. About foundation courses This four-year programme has been specifically designed to allow students who do not initially meet the entry requirements for a three-year degree, to undertake additional level 3 study designed to ensure they are successful on their chosen degree programme. After successful completion of your foundation year, you will have the flexibility to switch (should you wish to change direction) onto several related undergraduate Media degree programmes.
