Gain insight into the world around us and our everyday lives, where the media is becoming an ever more prevalent force. From the rise of the role of cities in
our lives to lively discussions around race, gender, age, class and disability we will explore contemporary thinking throughout a range of diverse and engaging modules. You’ll hone your research skills through immersive fieldwork within the UK and overseas as we strongly believe you can’t meaningfully study the world if you
don’t leave the lecture theatre! Real-world learning will form a central part of your studies with us. You’ll examine first-hand the glorious city of York and the
spectacular and diverse geography of the Yorkshire region. This is supported by residential field trips which will take you much further afield.
