Description

The BA in Media and Communication is designed to provide you with an understanding of a wide range of contemporary issues related to the theory, development and practice of mass and interactive communication, both nationally and internationally. You will learn how news is produced and reported, and how media industries, politics, culture and society interact, as well as learning about a very wide range of media, from newspapers to Twitter, from Hollywood movies to reality TV.

Today, the media is in your pocket, on your bedside table and in your classroom, unlike a few years ago when it was just in the living room. Media is an integral part of social and political revolutions and changes. From Pinterest to photo and location tagging on Facebook, from long-trusted newspapers read in print to films discussed on YouTube – the media are now so much part of our lives that we take them for granted.

Media and Communication at the University of Leicester has been at the forefront of media research since 1966 and our teaching has always been informed by all the latest developments in the field.

You will study a wide range of issues in the field of media and communication but you will also have the opportunity to choose those topics that you are most interested in. You can specialise by choosing from four different routes:

Mass communication

New and digital media

Media practice

Film and cultural studies

Or develop your own route by choosing option modules which interest you the most

Through the great academic and practical support we offer you in group, as well as individual teaching situations, you will learn to work both collaboratively and independently. The way we will assess you will foster skills in critical analysis, communication, research methods, group work and of course, media practice. We also place great emphasis on helping you to build your skills for the world of work.
