What Is International Communications?

International Communications degrees explore the complex world of communications, media and culture through the study of the different forms of visual and linguistic communication, new technologies, politics, popular and high culture, and news media. These courses train students in theories of digital media and mass communication, combined with a strong emphasis on language proficiency.

During their time with us students investigate the places and roles of various media and communication practices in everyday life, both as industries and cultural practices. Various courses encourage students to analyse film, television and other screen and mobile media within contexts of production, exhibition and reception. Students on the course also gain expertise in social and cultural context, textual analysis and empirical research.

How Will I Study?

The School of International Communications is part of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The school offers thriving undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and a teaching and research culture of the highest quality. On all courses in the school, students will explore the history, theory and practice of film, television, games and other communications media, along with the political, social, economic and cultural contexts within which media production and consumption occur.

Additionally, the programme is flexible, allowing students to select relevant modules from other schools to fully round out their education on culture and communication.
