Overview

In the age of social media and smart phones people are receiving and reacting to more stories than ever before. The BA in Creative Media and Storytelling is for those with a passion for telling stories and are excited by the potential of new and emerging media.

The media landscape has changed radically. People are increasingly getting more of their information from newer platforms such as social media and podcasting. These are primarily funded by advertising so new models of marketing and public relations have emerged.

This 3-year Level 8 honours degree programme offers students the vital skills necessary to develop and deliver stories through various media platforms. Students receive instruction on key subjects including photography and video, sound recording, editing, podcasting, web design and the use of social media. They also learn how to write trustworthy, ethical and accurate content for a variety of platforms.

These skills will equip students for careers in the creative media sphere such areas as local journalism, marketing and advertising, content creation, influencing, blogging/vlogging, advocacy, campaigning and community awareness.

Crafting stories with the power to change how we think, how we feel and how we act is central to the BA in Creative Media and Storytelling. The goal is for students to help their audience understand and engage with the world in fresh and challenging ways.
