Program Description

Our courses will challenge your thinking, broaden your views and help you develop an increased awareness of the role of media in transforming society and culture.Our mission is to prepare students to engage critically and creatively in an increasingly mediated world and allow them to contribute to their communities and chosen professional field. To serve this goal, our scholarship and teaching is interdisciplinary, inventive and practical.

But that is not all that we do. Employers look for life-long skills – written and visual literacy, communication skills, the ability to lead and contribute to teams, and to solve problems through effective research methods. All of these skills are taught in our programmes; they underlie most of what we do.We also value and develop an understanding of cultural diversity and difference, so it is not surprising that our graduates are to be found in many walks of life. We have a well-established record of teaching and research, with staff who are internationally recognised in their disciplines.
