Overview
This Media and Communications (Media Practice) course offered by the Brunel University of London course examines the development of structures of power, control and ownership of the media, and how media can be mobilised in activism, resistance and in social justice movements.
Key Facts
Our academics and media professionals will offer you the latest knowledge and draw on cutting edge debates to analyse how the media shapes culture and society, how digital media shapes social and power relations, and how media can be used for social activism.
On the media practice pathway, students develop a detailed and meaningful understanding of a full range of media production, including audio and video recording, journalistic storytelling, and interactive digital media creation. Students also have the opportunity to meet professionals working in the broadcast, advertising and marketing industries and to take part in course-related field trips.
The course is designed to meet the needs of advanced students with backgrounds in media, sociology and other relevant disciplines and is also perfectly suited for professionals in the communications/broadcast industry seeking to gain a more sociologically informed understanding of those industries. The courses offer a distinctive focus on media activism and politics.
