Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Global Philosophy & Worldviews and Media & Communication (GW04)

Liverpool is a gateway to the world. This city is home to the oldest Chinatown in Europe, its links with West Africa and the Americas were forged in the dark days of the transatlantic slave trade, and over one-and -a-half million Irish people passed through its port during the ‘Great Hunger’ of the 1845-52 Potato Famine. Each of the communities that have passed through this city brought with them their own ways of understanding the world their worldviews.

Liverpool is a vibrant city of culture and a hub of media creativity and innovation, and is an ideal location to pursue students studies in Media and Communication. This is an exciting and important time to study Media and Communication, as the impact of the media on society has never been greater or changing at so rapid a pace.

At Liverpool Hope, we will support students in developing a deeper understanding of the media’s relationship to society, history, culture, power, and industry. The course will encourage them to look at digital and social media from new perspectives, analyzing how they have disrupted traditional ways of communicating and interacting with the world around us. And it will challenge them to become an adaptable, independent, and professional communicator: someone who can develop original ideas and produce creative journalistic, digital and social media content to deliver on them.
