Additional information
Our BA Digital Media and Language combines the study of a modern language (French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish) with the development of academic knowledge and skills in the fast-changing field of digital media.
Not only will you become highly competent in your chosen language, but you will also gain advanced knowledge of the cultures and societies of the countries in which the language is spoken.
Our world today is increasingly digital. We can know our city’s iconic places through location-aware apps. We shape our identity alongside social media influencers. We fuel the growth of platform monopolies through small, daily gestures like posting videos or ‘liking’ friends’ jokes. We are learning that biases around race, class, gender and sexuality are embedded into algorithms that need to be challenged.
The digital media modules are taught by leading academic researchers, as well as industry professionals with professional knowledge and aptitudes in areas such as social media, digital design, video editing and entrepreneurship.
