From traditional print and broadcast media to film and television, digital publishing, social networking, and public relations, the media increasingly defines the way we interact with our society. It shapes the way we see ourselves and others, and can be a powerful tool for social change, good or bad.
We take a broad research, practical and international outlook that reflects the challenges of our media-rich world. Our staff have particular theoretical expertise in digital media, public relations, journalism and film studies. Teaching in these areas is informed by staff research activity and our long-established strengths in these subject areas. Informed by these theoretical approaches, there is also a prominent practical element (both in teaching and work placements) in journalism, public relations, the digital media landscape and film making.
