This program is ideal for students who wish to develop interdisciplinary mass media skills. There is a wide selection of modules available covering areas as diverse as journalism, photography, marketing and psychology. The program allows you to study media creation, content, dissemination and reception.

The course is ideal for those who would like to work in the media, including roles such as:

• media research
• publishing and communications, and journalism
• digital media, film or broadcasting
• public relations and advertising

However, a media graduate can easily go into many other non-media professions where critical, analytical and presentational skills are important. You will gain transferable life skills that employers will pounce upon.
