Communication (EFL) and Media Studies
This degree programme is for speakers of English as a foreign language from overseas who want to work in the media, journalism or communication industries, usually in their home countries.
It is particularly attractive to students who intend to pursue careers in areas where the English, journalistic skills and media knowledge which they have acquired on the programme will equip them for work in an exciting, international or global media environment.
The programme consists of a combination of courses in communication and English language studies (EFL) together with a range of introductory and advanced courses in media and journalism. The former aim to improve students' English language abilities to a high level, while the latter include courses in technological aspects of media and journalism.
This degree differs from the department's English Studies with Media Communications or with Journalism programmes in the following ways:
- it is designed particularly for EFL speakers;
- students do suitable communication projects of their own choosing related to media or journalism;
- there are no literature courses but there are free choice options;
- there is an extra course on film making.
