• Media & Communications

The School of Culture and Communication maintains a strong commitment to disciplinary innovation together with a focus on rigorous research into all dimensions of culture and communication. We aim to build a teaching environment that is at once exciting, challenging, and fully supportive of our students. The core skills that we teach can be transferred to many areas of life. These include:

• the ability to think and write creatively
• skills in the close reading of literary and cultural texts
• a broad-based knowledge of the history of cultural forms
• a capacity to communicate elegantly, rigorously, and with a sense of audience
