This course will appeal to you if you are passionate about the world we live in and are keen to use knowledge of the past to develop ways of creatively engaging with and improving how we live in the present.
You will deepen your understanding of the complex relationships between society, cultures, literature and the media. Through theoretical and practical study, you will enhance and broaden your skillset.
You will become adept at critical analysis but also gain insight into media production and writing for different genres. You will explore topics including photography, documentary making, journalism and scriptwriting.
