This course enables you to analyse a wide variety of media products, which may include advertising, film, radio, video games, newspapers and online media.
You will develop knowledge and understanding of media language, representation, audience and industrial and cultural contexts. You will gain the skills necessary for constructing or deconstructing media. Key media theories are also studied, with the application and evaluation of these assessed through written examinations.
