Course Overview

Culture today is increasingly digital. We can know our citys iconic places through location-aware apps. We shape our identity alongside social media influencers. We are learning that biases around race, class, gender, and sexuality are embedded into algorithms. The BA Digital Culture and Media with Foundation Year challenge you to immerse yourself in these kinds of issues while also engaging directly with digital technologies and practices. You will gain knowledge of the most recent advances and concerns relating to digital culture and media: from wearable technologies and artificial intelligence to online misinformation and data-driven surveillance. We also put such topics under scrutiny in a wider historical context to enable you to better understand how the digital media we use and depend on today have been made possible. This course is your opportunity to learn about cutting-edge, academic perspectives, while also developing skills and knowledge in applied media practice. Through projects, practice-led activities, and experimentation you will acquire professional knowledge and aptitudes in areas such as social media, digital design, video editing, and entrepreneurship. This will help you develop a broad and highly transferable understanding of digital culture and media suited to our twenty-first-century context. Before proceeding to the main degree, you will spend your Foundation Year preparing yourself for a degree in the arts by improving your study and research skills and gaining arts-related knowledge and understanding. You will also have the opportunity to take a language module as part of the Foundation Year.
