On top of this, you’ll build specialist knowledge through your choice of optional modules. These can include topics such as feminism, identity and media, media and globalisation, promotional media and media production analysis. The optional modules allow you to focus on topics that suit your own interests or perhaps reflect your career aspirations.
Throughout the course, you’ll prepare for your dissertation through the Dissertation and Research Methods module. Your dissertation is a major independent research project on a topic of your choice, which you submit at the end of the course.
If you choose to study part-time, you’ll complete this course over two years, instead of one, taking fewer modules each year.
