English and Media Studies

About this course

English and media studies examines how literature and media together shape the ways in which culture understands itself and communicates its values, conflicts, and possibilities. English brings close attention to the written word, developing the skills of interpretation, close reading, and critical analysis that allow you to engage deeply with literary texts across poetry, fiction, drama, and non-fiction. Media studies provides theoretical frameworks for understanding how mass communication works, how institutions produce and circulate content, how audiences make meaning from what they receive, and how digital transformation is reshaping the media landscape. The University of Sussex's programme, which includes a foundation year, a sandwich year, and a year abroad, gives you both a supported entry into degree-level study and extensive opportunities to enrich your academic experience thro
