BA (Hons) Social Media

... United Kingdom
... University of East London

Course Overview

Media and Journalism are, of course, competitive worlds to enter. You'll have a head start at UEL, thanks to teachers with exceptional contacts who know precisely what newspapers, radio stations and other media outlets are looking for. Our students have gone on to jobs in television, film, journalism, publishing, advertising and public relations, as well as games design and production careers. The skills and knowledge we build have enabled some students to become successful freelancers or set up their own businesses. You could get into roles such as Social Media Manager, Market Research Analyst, Account Manager, Social Media Content Creator, Communications Officer and many more. This course is designed to give you the opportunity to actively engage with key aspects of critical, creative and professional practice connected to social media. You will acquire knowledge of key elements of social media, histories, critical frameworks, marketing, branded content, social media influencers, celebrity, trends, social media activism and digital communications. During your degree, you will incorporate work and project-based learning to give you the best, real-life working experience.
