Undergraduate Programme
Graduate Programme
As there will be no new intake within FASS to the BCS or BCS(Hons) degree from 2010, only students who are enrolled in the degree in 2009 and prior can take this major.
The media will be the central fact of life in the third millennium. The Media Studies major aims to provide students with the skills and understanding necessary for citizens and professionals in this evolving environment. This is achieved by combining training in critical thinking with instruction in how the media is made, focusing on the relations between the local and the global, and the origins and trajectories of the digital media. The new century demands skilled, independent and innovative people. We begin from students’ experience of life today: digital workplaces, media saturated homes and urban environments full of messages. By adding skills and understanding, through the full range of teaching and learning techniques, we enable our students to be independent learners capable of designing and carrying through their own projects of study and creation.
