Media and Culture

About this course

Media and culture is the study of the relationships between communication systems, cultural production, and social life. It asks how media shapes public understanding and individual experience, how cultural meanings are made and contested, and what happens when images, stories, and information cross borders and audiences. It is a discipline that takes both the texts of popular culture and the theoretical tools for analysing them seriously. At the University of Liverpool this three-year full-time programme combines the critical analysis of media with broader cultural studies, drawing on sociology, semiotics, cultural history, and political economy. You will examine film, television, journalism, social media, advertising, and digital platforms, thinking about both how they work and what they do in the world. You will develop skills in textual analysis, research, argumentation, and writing
