Media & Communication BA (Hons) with Foundation Year
If you are interested in the wide range of careers within media and cultural industries, want to develop a critical understanding of the role the media plays in shaping our political, social and cultural world, and also want to develop your practical skills to be able to participate in the production of media, then this is the right course for you.
Through the integration of theory and practice, our course explores the production and consumption of media in its various forms, from web, film, and television to paid streaming services, news to communication via social media. It looks at how these different media channels shape our ways of communicating, and our relationships, personal, political, economic and cultural. You will also develop practical skills in digital media.
What distinguishes media and communications at Kingston University is the way in which we blend theory and practice in our modules, offering a choice of workshops and assessment that will require you to combine strong theoretical knowledge with critical, creative and practice-based skills.
