Leading to: Media, Culture, Communication BA (Hons)

The media have a major impact on how we understand our world, ourselves and other people. The BA (Hons) in Media, Culture, Communication at Liverpool John Moores University enables you to analyse the social, cultural and political importance of the mass media, everyday culture, and the communications industries, with a focus on employability, career development and critical skills. The course will teach you how to write and research for a range of audiences, both academic and professional.

This BA (Hons) course offers a variety of modules covering aspects of the media, culture and communications industries. Our students enjoy the broad range of the programme, which expands their choices after graduation, while allowing them to specialise in their own areas of interest as they progress. We examine industries like film, television and games, sectors like advertising, public relations, journalism and publishing, and aspects of everyday culture like consumerism, identity and social media.

The programme is designed with your future employability in mind. You'll develop transferable skills in research, communication, problem solving, teamwork and independent working. Although we focus on theoretical and critical study, our students work on current case studies that are developed with employers, and work-related learning is designed into all levels of study. Many students undertake exciting and rewarding placements, internships and work experience during their programme.
