Media and Screen Studies primes you to think critically and creatively about media – from cinema and TV to popular music, comics, videogames and social networking sites. In our courses, students engage with media as cultural forms and means of expression, developing analytical thinking alongside practical storytelling skills. You can study genres like horror, action, drama and documentary alongside vital issues like gender, race and environmental justice.
