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 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. Our part-time Foundation Year degrees allow you to spread out your Foundation Year studies over two years. As the 'Foundation Year' is made up of 120 credits, as a part-time student you can take 60 credits in each of your first and second years before starting the main four-year BA Digital Culture and Media. This means that you can take six years to complete the part-time degree with Foundation Year.

General Eligibility

We welcome applicants without traditional entry qualifications as we base decisions on our own assessment of qualifications, knowledge, and previous work experience. We may waive formal entry requirements based on the judgment of academic potential.
