The Media and Philosophy BA at Nottingham Trent University offers a unique interdisciplinary exploration into how media shapes our understanding of the world and ourselves. You will delve into classic and contemporary methods of textual analysis, explore media industries, and examine how identities are constructed across popular culture. Simultaneously, you will engage with profound philosophical questions, from ethics in the 21st century to the nature of the self, developing a critical perspective essential for navigating our complex, mediated society. This degree is ideal for those seeking to become conceptually aware, media-savvy communicators.
This fully interdisciplinary programme is studied full-time on campus over three years. You will develop your knowledge through core modules in media theory and society, alongside world philosophy, and have the opportunity to choose optional pathways including practical media production, intercultural communication, or advanced philosophical inquiry. Your final year culminates in a substantial independent research project or dissertation, allowing you to explore a topic of your choice in depth. You will graduate with the critical thinking, analytical, and problem-solving skills to thrive in diverse graduate roles and contribute meaningfully to society.
