MEDIA, COMMUNICATIONS AND CREATIVE PRACTICE B.A (Hons)

Media, Communications and Creative Practice is a dynamic course, which involves both practical and theoretical elements. On the practical side, students develop an understanding of and skills in photography, advertising campaigns, news programmes, digital publishing, film and documentary production and post production techniques, and in the third year students are given the opportunity to plan and produce a major creative project. On the theory side, students explore the ways in which we understand the terms media and culture both today and historically, and analyse how a range of media forms such as film, television, photography and literature produce cultural meaning.

Based in our own building with dedicated staff and creative facilities, Media at Keele offers a supportive and stimulating environment for students. The course provides you with the critical skills to analyse and contextualise a variety of media and cultural forms, including films, photography, advertisements, news and digital media. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore your own creativity in producing cultural artefacts, with opportunities ranging from documentary-making to podcast development, and from photographic installations to magazine production. We can also provide opportunities to enter work placements through our links to the creative and media
