This innovative degree will allow you to study both media and international development and the relationship between them, making this degree programme unique within the UK.
It is designed to meet the growing demand for those who wish to pursue a career in the media to have an international outlook and for those who wish to pursue a career in international development to understand how the media works. Students will be particularly well prepared for careers in NGO communications, development journalism, humanitarian communication and media development.
The media are important to all aspects of international development, from promoting mass mobilisation and political participation to facilitating the flow of information locally, nationally and internationally. The media is also central to encouraging charitable donations, promoting democracy and human rights, and in delivering public health messages during emergencies.
You will benefit from the combined teaching expertise of the School of International Development alongside Film, Television and Media Studies and Political, Social and International Studies. This interdisciplinary teaching also allows for a unique range of choice and specialisation, enabling you to choose from a variety of modules linked to both international development and the media, such as Development in Practice; Development Work Experience; Gender and the Media; Political Communication, Media, Globalisation and Culture; Politics and International Development; Wars and Humanitarian Crises; and Women, Islam and the Media.
Students will have the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge academic material and to critically reflect on key issues in a variety of settings: lectures, workshops, and film screenings.
