Screen Studies

BA (Hons) Broadcasting, Journalism and Screen Studies

BA (Hons) Media Communications and Screen Studies

Have you considered how much of what you see of the world today is through a screen? From cinema screens, widescreen TVs and video games to 3G mobile phones and laptops, screens dominate our culture.

The Screen Studies degree takes a closer look at how we interpret - and how we can best understand - such cultures. There’s an almost endless number of different aspects to screen culture.

In our courses you will explore a raft of topics: from traditional approaches of film and media studies to new, cutting-edge research into online identities, computer game technology and the popularity of websites such as YouTube and Facebook.
