Film, TV and Digital Media with Year Abroad

The shift to digital media has created profound changes in the ways we understand the world around us. This degree will ask you to think about the ways in which digital cultures have changed the way we live and work, how we relate to the environment and to each other, how digital platforms have transformed how audiences now produce and consume film, television, and other media.

We are ranked 11th in the UK for Communication and Media Studies*
