Digital Media and Communications University of Birmingham Dubai

Overview

The Digital Media and Communications at the University of Birmingham Dubai provides students with a strong foundation in communication theory, digital media practices, and creative content development. The programme explores how media and communication shape public discourse, influence audiences, and support organisational goals.

Students learn practical skills in digital content creation, multimedia design, social media strategy, and audience engagement while also developing a critical understanding of media in contemporary society. Teaching is delivered through lectures, workshops, studio sessions, and collaborative projects that encourage creativity, practical problem solving, and effective communication.

Assessment includes portfolios, media projects, presentations, and written assignments that reflect real-world media and communication practice. Graduates are prepared for careers in media production, digital communication, content strategy, and related creative and professional fields.

Career opportunities:

 You’ll develop the capacity to think critically about a range of topics, argue, defend and advocate for your positions in presentations and written work and respond creatively to real-world tasks.

You’ll have the optional opportunity to study on a number of challenge-based modules, responding to live briefs from local, national and international partners, as well as spending time on placement with one of our local partner organisations in the creative arts, heritage, or social enterprise sector.
