The course combines theoretical and practical training in media and communications. You’ll develop an understanding of the changing world in which we live, exploring relations between states, peoples, social movements, and cultural and religious groups.

Careers and employability

Your career development

This is a major part of the curriculum. Key transferable skills are emphasised and there are opportunities to develop links with organisations and potential employers. Joint honours courses develop a wide range of skills. These include written and oral communication skills, critical analysis and a variety of IT skills. But you’ll also become more self-motivated, be able to work independently and in teams, and develop excellent time management skills.

Our recent Media Joint Honours graduates have gone on to work in graduate-level positions in the BBC; Sky; Brit Asia TV; Channel 5; and IBM.
