Advertising affects us more and more it is a key part of the creative industries . How advertisers use the media to reach customers and what they say to them is fundamentally what this course explores. The increase in satellite and cable channels, mobile phones and the Internet means you are exposed to more advertising messages than ever. More companies want to reach you and each has something different to say about their product in ways that you will find interesting. But new media technologies mean that you also have more ways to avoid these messages and so the advertisers have to be more creative in both what they say and how they say it.
This degree studies advertising in the context of media and consumer culture. It covers the practices of the advertising industry and studies the analysis and the critique of media objects, including film, television, print and new media as well as advertisements. It aims to produce professional, creative communicators and includes opportunities for professional experience: either a work placement in a media organisation or an equivalent professional live brief or project. The broad nature of study will enable graduates to pursue careers in a wide range of communication, media and creative industries and business settings. Communication is
fundamental to any organisation, whether private or public sector, and this degree will allow you to fulfil a variety of creative and professional communication roles. This course is taught by a team of committed staff from both the Media & Communication department and Marketing departments, all active in professional practice, research and publication.

What does it mean to live, study and work in our digital world? How has our use of online social media such as Facebook and Twitter affected our senses of personal identity and our relationships with others? How are the media and the cultural industries changing and adapting to this digital revolution and the ways in which we communicate with others? This course enables you to understand and be actively engaged in answering these questions, from your own perspective and in collaboration with local and global communities. The course provides you with an in-depth understanding of both the ways in which the media and cultural industries have developed historically and the
how these industries are adapting to and transforming themselves in the light of the current digital revolution. The course involves an integrated mix of work in which you will be producing your own media and cultural objects within a theoretical understanding of the key principles involved in these areas. You will study such areas as the Internet, social media, advertising, film, sound and music, television, video and photography, all within local, national as well as international contexts. You will investigate questions of media industries, cultural policy and the nature of media and cultural audiences. Students are supported by a team of committed staff, all active in practice, research and publication.
From the initial inception of the course in 1978 graduates have been highly successful in going into careers in a exceptionally wide variety of fields including broadcasting (both television and radio), film, public relations, marketing, advertising, professional communication, media research, internet publishing and education. Many graduates have also gone on to take postgraduate qualifications in the field.

Are you an avid consumer of the written word and have a passion to use writing to communicate ideas, information and events with others. If so then combining a study of Journalism with English could be the ideal starting point for a language-based career. Our innovative course enables you to bring together professional practice of written journalism with an in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience of how the English language is used in the real world. We will induct you into the Journalism profession, demanding exacting standards of professional behaviour from the outset. The Journalism modules will enable you develop the skills
and knowledge which lie at the heart of the working life of a journalist, across a range of platforms, with a focus on on-line and print media. You will study the essentials of journalism from practical writing to legal issues and the contextual aspects of this socially significant practice. Alongside journalism, you will learn about the nature of the English language and how English as a language system shapes our experiences and plays a vital role in our culture and our literature. You will also learn about the language of the media and how meaning is examined in theory and practice. Teaching focuses on building your knowledge of journalism by involving you in live projects both within and outside of the university, including the
opportunity to complete a workbased placement in your second year. By the end of your time with us you should be able to showcase your skills in your chosen area and you will also learn how to target yourself to the world of work by building a professional development portfolio.
