Media and Communications with Placement Year

About this course

Media and communications is the academic study of how messages are produced, distributed and consumed across a range of platforms and technologies, and how those processes shape culture, society, politics and individual identity. The field encompasses journalism, broadcasting, digital media, advertising, public relations, film and the broader media industry, asking both critical questions about how media works and practical questions about how to produce it effectively. A degree in this area develops both analytical depth and vocational skills, preparing you to think critically about the media landscape and to contribute to it professionally. At Brunel University London, this four-year programme includes a foundation year for students who benefit from additional preparation before the main degree, as well as a placement year that provides extended professional experience in the media in
