Modules are optional. Where available, you may take one or two modules in addition to your main subjects within the overall structure of your programme. Completed modules will appear on your academic transcript. They are restricted to undergraduate degrees.

We live in a world that is increasingly saturated by images and visual information. Being able to read and understand images across a range of media and platforms is crucial in articulating ideas and communicating effectively.

This module brings together various approaches to studying, researching and interpreting photographs, digital images, historical illustrations, artworks, the moving image, diagrams and body language.

You will learn how to critically analyse the way images are described and used, and relate them to a broader cultural context.
