Media and Cultural Studies, BA (Hons), with study abroad

Lancaster University's media and culture course prepares students for evolving media careers by blending expert knowledge with practical skills. Students explore industry changes, gain experience through a four-year program including a third year abroad at partner institutions, and learn from global experts on topics like reality TV regulations. The curriculum allows personalization, focusing on areas of interest such as digital content creation, while encouraging involvement in student media societies. It examines media production, consumption, and its social, economic, and political impacts worldwide, fostering creativity and awareness of professional challenges.The study abroad option enhances global perspectives, cultural awareness, and professional networks by studying at institutions in destinations like Australia or Canada. Students select modules aligned with their degree and local specialisms, though availability varies. If overseas placement is unavailable, students can transition to a standard three-year program at Lancaster, with the university not responsible for related financial costs. This approach equips graduates for dynamic roles in creative sectors and digital journalism.
