Communication and Media with Catalan BA (Hons)

Media coverage represents the most important method for communicating key issues and developments in most subject areas to the wider world, so Communication and Media makes an excellent partner for combinations with another subject. This means that you will find plenty of opportunities for crossover between your other subject and Communication and Media. Year one of the Communication and Media part of your programme is made up of compulsory modules that introduce you to fundamental concepts for further study. You then have progressive levels of optionality in years two and three.<br/><br/>Our Minor in Catalan is designed to develop exceptional linguistic competence, enabling students to reach proficiency by the completion of their studies. Through rigorous and progressive language training, you will refine advanced skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing. Teaching is enriched by authentic cultural texts and contemporary news materials, fostering informed engagement with society across Catalan-speaking regions. A dynamic programme of extracurricular activities further enhances your experience, while an optional Year Abroad strengthens fluency and deepens intercultural understanding. Studying Catalan strengthens your CV, signalling initiative, adaptability and specialist expertise sought by employers at home and internationally.<br/><br/>This programme is available with a Year in Industry, which will be spent on paid placement within an organisation in industry, broadly defined. You will be supported by the School of the Arts and the Department throughout, and your reflexive written account of the experience will contribute towards your final degree result. Please note it is not possible to study both a Year in Industry and a Year Abroad on this programme.<br/><br/>Most Combined Degrees allow you to adapt the weighting of each by 25% after the first year, helping you to keep your options open. Please note, however, students studying either a Business or Economics pathway in combination with another subject cannot increase from 25% to 50% or from 50% to 75% and it is not possible to transfer from a 50% to 75% Law.
