This course is unique in offering you the opportunity to develop a broad understanding of the relationship between digital media and society from a social science perspective. You will use innovative digital methods to research digital media in society, and learn to make digital media products that focus on the needs of the user.
Explore the ever-growing role digital media plays in shaping society across an increasingly connected world.
By studying this degree, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how social media influences our world, what happens to the information we share online, and technical, social and ethical considerations for digital design.
You’ll also build practical skills through the creation of digital media products, from websites to animations, focusing on user needs and outcomes.
With modules covering topics from data-driven storytelling to news analysis, you’ll delve into the power of digital media to shape public opinion and learn how to build compelling narratives from data within your research.
As you progress through your degree, you’ll specialise further in areas of your choice, such as health, protest and social change, or societal inequalities.
In your third year, you’ll draw on a strong conceptual and practical basis to apply your skills through the dissertation project, and have the opportunity to see theory in a live context with digital media work placements.
Throughout your degree, you'll have the opportunity to select modules from other schools in the Faculty of Social Science, allowing you to theme your study of digital media in relation to other key fields. We offer two themed routes: Marketing and Consumer Society, and Journalism, Media and Communication.
