Course Overview

You’ll have acquired knowledge in understanding traditional and new information and communications technologies and processes. Many of our students choose to pursue a career in marketing, events and production coordination, research and buying in the media industries, PR and journalism. You may choose to pursue a career in research and production for a video or television company. With the transferable skills gained in this course, there will be a variety of careers available to you.

This course enjoys a very close relationship with sociology at Brunel and combines the theoretical elements of sociology with the practical elements of media studies. You’ll focus on all aspects of society: its personal, social and cultural dimensions.

Studying communications and media at Brunel is not just limited to the classroom. You’ll have the opportunity to broaden your mind by going on field trips and joining film sessions, where you’ll learn about camera lighting and editing. You’ll be able to attend optional company visits, for example, IMG studios, where you’ll receive a tour of the studios.

In this course, you’ll have the chance to make your own films in groups. You’ll develop your skills in our media services suite which has industry-standard facilities. You’ll be taught about the software Final Cut Pro and how to use different types of Canon cameras. You’ll experiment with different lighting styles and practise sound editing techniques. This practical workshop will equip you with the skills you’ll need for a media-related career or for working in the field of production.

You’ll also be able to take your learning outside the classroom – on field trips and company visits. Previous students have toured the IMG studious right here in Uxbridge.
