These two dynamic subjects will help you understand individual, group and organisational communications as well as developing an in-depth knowledge of the media industry and its practical application across multiple platforms.

Our course combinations are designed so that what you learn in one subject will complement and enhance what you learn in the other. In your final year you can choose either to split your time evenly between your two subjects, or to specialise in one. Our flexible curriculum has been designed to create some amazing opportunities for you too.
