About this course

Media and communication is the study of how information, meaning, and culture circulate in society through technologies, institutions, and practices that are constantly changing.

The discipline combines critical analysis with practical engagement, developing both your ability to think about media and your capacity to work within it. At the University of Leicester, this three-year full-time programme includes a foundation year and a year abroad option. The foundation year provides a supported entry point for students who want to build their academic confidence an
