By studying this degree, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how social media influences our world, what happens to the information we share online, and technical, social and ethical considerations for digital design.

You’ll also build practical skills through the creation of digital media products, from websites to animations, focusing on user needs and outcomes.

With modules covering topics from data-driven storytelling to news analysis, you’ll delve into the power of digital media to shape public opinion and learn how to build compelling narratives from data within your research.

As you progress through your degree, you’ll specialise further in areas of your choice, such as health, protest and social change, or societal inequalities.

In your third year, you’ll draw on a strong conceptual and practical basis to apply your skills through the dissertation project, and have the opportunity to see theory in a live context with digital media work placements.
