Introduction to Modules

A module is an optional grouping of three skills-based courses on a particular theme that enables you to add extra value to your undergraduate programme.

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.

Please see the main programme link below for further details.

Subject Overview

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.

Main Programme
