Communication, Media and Politics BA (Hons)

The world we live in is dominated by media in many forms: through news and social media to politics and promotion, the media shapes our understanding of what we know and what we consume. This programme is particularly relevant to students interested in the intersection of communication, media and politics.
INTRODUCTION
You will explore communication theories, political ideas, systems and processes and you will learn how to develop knowledge, construct arguments and communicate your findings in different ways. Whether you want to work in one of these areas, to research their impact or simply to understand more about our relationship with media, this programme provides a thorough introduction with plenty of opportunities to develop specialist skills.
A range of optional modules allows you to choose a range of topics from political science and communication and media. We teach all of our students to acquire strong research skills, and you’ll have the opportunity to practice them through independent or collaborative research.
