Objectives
This degree programme will give you a comprehensive understanding of the history, nature and power of the media and encourage you to explore the relationships between different forms of media, culture and society. You will explore and analyse mediated culture. From film to TV, to art and advertising, you will examine the central role that media and popular culture occupies in contemporary society. Through analysis and creative interaction, you will be encouraged to examine the ways in which the media shapes our lives - and the ways in which we can resist!
