Summary
The media play an important role in entertaining and informing the public, but they also make up a global industry that employs millions of people. This course will give you an insight into both aspects of the media industries, as you critically analyse their cultural and economic dimensions.
You'll explore the full range of media production, from individual bloggers to independent production companies to huge corporations. Taking an international approach, informed by cutting-edge theories, you’ll study the development of contemporary media to understand current trends such as platformisation, influencer culture, content streaming and social media.
It’s an interdisciplinary course, drawing on communication and cultural studies, economics, sociology, anthropology, business and management studies, human geography, politics, law, literature, and music.
Guided by internationally renowned and active researchers in the field, many of whom are involved in our Media Industries and Cultural Production Research Centre, you’ll gain an insight into how television, film, music, online media, newspapers, magazines and advertising are produced, and what it’s like to work in each industry.
