We encourage learning within a context that encompasses a wide range of subjects and types of study, with an emphasis on preparing students for work in the media, cultural industries and beyond.

Courses take into account how the media and the individual are effecting real change in society at present, and aim to demonstrate how a critical focus on these areas can broaden a student’s understanding of the Industry as a whole.

Our courses demonstrate our passion for the media and although we emphasise relevant contemporary media trends and cultural patterns, we place a strong focus on grounding this within historical and academic work.
