Course summary
Overview
Our joint honours course allows students to pursue their own areas of interest within Communication, Media & Culture and Sociology whilst also providing them with a solid foundation in the discipline and a range of personal and professional skills which will serve as a springboard for their future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable students to gradually develop their knowledge and skills and to become autonomous, effective and independent learners.
Communication, Media & Culture is about understanding interpersonal connections between individuals, groups and corporations who construct their identities by means of new media and social interaction, persuasion and propaganda, journalism and branding. Sociology is a wide-ranging subject concerned with analysing social relationships and social institutions and the ways in which they shape people鈥檚 lives.
