Media BA (Hons)

**Media**<br/><br/>As media expands, the world shrinks. Interconnectedness is more important than ever.<br/><br/>On our BA Media course youll examine how media in all forms - spoken and written words, television and music, drawing and animation - creates meaning and how media, across these mediums, can be used to broadcast a wide range of messages for different purposes. Youll develop analytical and practical skills and with access to our industry-standard resources, you can create work of your own either as part of your degree, or for yourself. <br/><br/>Youre taught by practitioners and researchers who contribute to contemporary debate through their publications and frequently appear on national news and television. This active involvement means our academics keep you in touch with a rapidly changing and expanding industry. This course is also available with a year of working or studying abroad. Its also possible to spend a year working in industry in the UK. <br/><br/>**Your future**<br/><br/>As a Media student at Kent, youll benefit from creating in tailored facilities, accompanied by a dynamic and supportive arts community, where you work alongside your peers, academics and industry professionals.
