Media Studies is concerned with the organisation, processes and effects of traditional and new media. Students will learn to critically analyse the media and learn about the structure of communications industries and the relations between media, culture and power. In addition, students will be exposed to theories, debates and discussions about the role of the media in society as well as to ways of analysing the operations of the media, media products and media consumption by audiences. A Media Studies major would be useful for students who would like to work in media research, communication policy and regulation, media management, government communications, audience and media research, market analysis, social media and media planning.
