International Media and Communications Studies (Taught)

Explore the rapidly changing world of contemporary communications practices, and the problems such practices raise in terms of economics, politics, society and culture.
International in its scope and outlook throughout, the course engages with the globalisation of media and communication and the de-Westernisation of media studies.
We explore a range of theories and perspectives from around the world as well as empirical findings from transnational comparative research.
Particular themes we'll cover include:

• media and cultural labour

• agency and power in a digital era

• the ethics and politics of communication practices

Language learning is integral to the course. There are options across European, Asian and Arabic languages, with levels to suit your existing skills.
We're a multidisciplinary department and you'll benefit from staff expertise across a range of specialisations, including:

• media studies

• digital media

• critical theory

• cultural studies

• cultural industries
