What you'll study

Teaching and assessment

Your first year of study will provide you with the solid foundation you need to get the most out of the media course. Together we’ll explore the relationship between media, culture, and society.

Throughout, you’ll receive a good grounding in both theory and practice.

Compulsory modules:

Media and Society

Media and Society explores the complexity of factors that shape the relationship between media, culture and society. You will be introduced to the media representations of reality and identity constructions, as well as the relationship between media producers and users. The module will also look into how reality is produced, reproduced, maintained and transformed by the media. A key focus is the interplay between the various roles of the media: the civic role in a democratic system, media as business, and media as a public service provider. You will consider the linkages between media forms and production, including issues such as access, inclusiveness, marginalisation, knowledge, power and information. You will analyse media organisations, study the way in which media content is produced, distributed and received by audiences, as well as assessing its contribution to culture and social progress.

Social Media

Social Media charts the growth of social media since the development of Web 2.0. Arguably the single greatest advance in personal and group communication on a global basis since the development of the printing press, social media enables individuals to express themselves to large groups of people. From YouTube and Instagram influencers, to controversial Twitter figures and the fake news of Facebook memes, this module enables you to develop a deeper online literacy and gain a keen understanding of the power of social media to influence political, social and economic debates.

You will assess the role that social media has had in the development of fan and DIY media, and how these have come into conflict with the traditional gatekeeping elites of the corporate mainstream media. You will be asked to evaluate how far social media has become a controversial space for the discussion of politics and political and social debates. You will also analyse the shift from the media of the masses to the media of the self, while also exploring the potential of social media platforms as a means of developing global profiles for individuals, and groups, previously given limited access to the mainstream media.

Pods and Vlogs

Pods and Vlogs recognises that the internet has fundamentally challenged the gatekeepers of old mainstream media in the creation, production and distribution of media texts. The internet has destabilised the publishing industry, for example, with the rise of social media, while YouTube and Netflix have challenged the primacy of broadcasting networks. The access to new audiences by grassroots media producers has developed ‘many to many’ modes of distribution, which subverts the traditional broadcasting model of ‘one to many’. Immersing you in a critical evaluation of the production processes of citizen media in the age of the internet, this module will challenge you to think critically about the role of platforms like YouTube, podcasting, blogs and social media. It will concentrate on an analysis of key theoretical frameworks including participation, disintermediation, fandoms and non-mainstream media.

Transmedia Storytelling

Transmedia Storytelling examines the development of transmedia storytelling within digital environments, recognising that marketing and audience engagement with films and television programmes has changed dramatically over the last decade. Audiences, who are constantly connected through smartphones and second screens, expect to connect with content outside of the core film/television programme, when they want, where they want and on their own devices. The convergence of media, technologies and culture has heralded a new age of audience engagement within media franchises, enabling producers of media content to connect with their audience at multiple entry points, enabling a new form of audience participation and immersion.

The module will reflect on this enhanced two-way communication that encompasses the current trends in digital platforms and social media including websites, podcasts, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. You'll engage in new and innovative ways of connecting to the audience through extended narrative and content, while discovering the underpinning strategies used for developing a transmedia world where the central narrative of a film, or television programme, is extended through different delivery platforms and protracted narratives.

Module code: MED2331

Media Content

Media Content offers professional collaboration with charities and community groups to give you a realistic insight into the world of work. The aim is to produce exciting content for the partner organisations that could be delivered across a range of online and offline platforms. You will gain valuable experience of working to a live brief, creating exciting and innovative content to a deadline, receiving feedback from clients and peers, and learning to work creatively and professionally in collaboration with an employer. The module will prove an asset for your graduate portfolio as you produce relevant client-led media content for real world consumption, such as a short film, website, blog, social media curation and newsletters. You will also gain first-hand insight into the underlying concepts and principles that underpin the third sector and the creation of content for this specific audience.

You will analyse the history of subcultural modes of active fandom, dating back to the cultural revolution of the rock and roll age, Hollywood cinema and the development of television in the aftermath of World War II. You will also be encouraged to engage with research methods appropriate to the study of media audiences and subcultural communities, including quantitative and qualitative methods such as surveys, ethnography or focus groups as means of developing primary data.

Module code: MED2329

Branded Content

Branded Content will enhance your knowledge and understanding of the creative industries, running alongside the traditional television model, and develop your skills in producing high-quality and relevant branded content. Over the past decade there has been an enormous increase in the range, volume and quality of additional content produced by the media industries. Content such as second-screen apps, websites, webisodes, social media feeds, video extras, additional behind-the-scenes footage, online games and interactive promotions have added to the depth and richness of film and television as audience experiences. The module will develop practical skills in the conception, management and production of additional content, enabling you to create and design your own digital media content, fusing creativity with a brand message for integrated campaigns across a range of media platforms.
