Subject area

Media and Communication

Grouped here when the official title names media, communication, journalism, film or digital culture.

Media and communication study how information is produced and circulates: journalism practice, media theory, digital communication, film and production work. The split between practical production and academic analysis differs greatly between programmes.

The programmes below were read from institutions’ own catalogues and grouped here by U4S. That grouping is an editorial judgement about the published title, not a statement from any institution, and two programmes sitting on this page are not thereby equivalent — content, entry requirements and the qualification awarded can differ substantially between them and between countries.
