Multi-faceted degree drawing on strengths in Drama, English, Film & Television Studies and Modern Languages and Cultures
"I have always had an interest in how stories define our reality. In studying communications, I am learning the ubiquity of just that. In my course, I am able to decipher how media sculpts consciousness; how our consciousness flowers complex social structures; and, the necessities in understanding how media is both a construction and reflection of our world. The course aligns with a wide array of academic disciplines which ensures that I have a broad choice of careers - for me, this is particularly favorable to becoming a sociologist."
Jamie, from the USA, studying BA English and Communications
