Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Media and Communications (P390)

The BA (Hons) Media and Communications degree provides an academic, creative and critical understanding of the media for roles in a variety of creative industries and backgrounds. Through this undergraduate degree, students will learn how to produce creative content across different kinds of media, including writing, camera use, sound recording and post-production or editing. The course supports students in developing a wide-ranging portfolio of independent critical and creative outputs, and to explore how their own practice relates to the real-world media and creative industries. The University of Greenwich frequently invites guest lecturers to share their specialist knowledge allowing students to keep abreast of the latest developments in this field. This course provides opportunities for students to publicly present their own work in installations, blogs and screenings. The BA (Hons) Media and Communications degree can be taken in sandwich mode, which means learners can take a year to work in industry between their second and final years of study. Sandwich placements are relevant to their degree subject and are paid roles. Students are encouraged to take up Summer internships during the Summer holidays, though it is up to the student to find them. Past graduates of this course now work in industries such as PR and marketing, social media, higher education, production houses, creative agencies, as well as broadcasting and publishing.
