Media and Screen Studies primes you to think critically and creatively about media – from cinema and TV to popular music, comics, videogames and social networking sites. In our courses, students engage with media as cultural forms and means of expression, developing analytical thinking alongside practical storytelling skills.
You can study genres like horror, action, drama and documentary alongside vital issues like gender, race and environmental justice. In a world filled with screens large and small, it’s more important than ever to understand media’s narratives, images, industries and social impact.

You can choose from a range of courses which study communication, film, television and media from diverse approaches — theoretical, aesthetic and historical — and complete your own research project.
