Media and Philosophy BA (Hons)
If you've got two subjects that you really enjoy, or have career ambitions that demand a particular skill set, then a joint honours degree is a great choice for you.
It enables you to shape your study according to your strengths, interests and career ambitions. Combining two subjects can give your degree an international or industry perspective that will make you stand out in the graduate employment market.
Our course combinations are designed so that what you learn in one subject will complement and enhance what you learn in the other. In your final year you can choose either to split your time evenly between your two subjects, or to specialise in one. Our flexible curriculum has been designed to create some amazing opportunities for you too. Your second year of study is divided into two semesters that enables you to take part in optional work placements or go on an international exchange.
By choosing Philosophy and Media you’ll enjoy the freedom to choose from wide range of optional modules, depending on your own preferences and interests. Your Philosophy course will help you to develop your powers of argument, critical analysis and questioning ability. These are important skills that will also enhance and influence your Media studies.
