Course description

This course provides students with the opportunity to pursue in-depth study in the area of communications while completing a bachelors degree or double degree in other fields. Students develop the conceptual tools for describing and analysing mass communications media in a number of ways: as industries, which employ people and are subject to various forms of regulations, as a series of different textual forms, which audiences receive and make sense of, and as institutions with a central role in the negotiation of social and political relationships such as those which exist between manufacturers, advertisers, consumers, citizens and governments.
