Bachelor of Arts in Media, Culture and Identity
Our Media, Culture and Identity BA is particularly relevant if you are looking to kick-start your career in the creative industries. Exploring current debates about culture, and considering how the media can bring about social, cultural and political change, this degree gives you a deeper insight into how people engage with different media forms such as TV, radio, print, digital communication, advertising and social media. You will consider the relationship between media and society, drawing on other disciplines such as sociology, political science and cultural studies, and be introduced to key approaches to analysing the media-society relationship, while engaging critically and creatively with media and identity. The course covers key developments in the media, looks at how media texts are produced, distributed, regulated and consumed, and explores the ways in which the media can influence society. You’ll look at how the media functions as an important part of any modern democracy, explore current debates around freedom of the press, and consider how media-appointed critics have a role to play in helping shape public opinion. Our London location means you can immerse yourself in the creative culture of the capital at festivals, studios, galleries and pop-up cinemas. All students also have the option to do a work placement in the creative industries. You could work in TV, film, online and print media, arts and campaigns, or at a museum, art gallery, theatre or community project. Recent students have worked at the BBC, MTV, Absolute Radio and Vogue. - see more at: https://www.roehampton.ac.uk/undergraduate-courses/media-culture-and-identity/
