Media and Communications Brunel University of London

Overview

Throughout your Media and Communications degree course offered by Brunel University of London , you’ll engage with topics like free speech, media diversity, fake news and the influence of social media - all key discussions in the media today. And you’ll have a unique opportunity to take classes across the Social and Political Sciences department, choosing options from Anthropology, Criminology, Geography, History, Politics, and Sociology. This interdisciplinary approach sets us apart, helping you understand media not in isolation, but as part of the social, cultural, and political forces that define our era.
