Course detail & modules
The curriculum is organised around unifying blocks. In each semester you can focus on developing your craft and critical skills on a specific theme/format, without feeling dispersed among many unrelated assessments.
The course features two customisable pathways - halfway through your studies, you have the opportunity to choose either the Media Production strand or the Media Studies strand.
Real industry work experience is guaranteed. Whatever the pathway you choose, there is a minimum of 40 hours of industry work placement, facilitated by the school's Placements team.
To ensure a top-notch learning experience, you have access to industry-standard studios, facilities and equipment (that you can book out!) to develop your projects.
You can learn from a diverse group of established media practitioners and researchers in the field of Media and Communications. Take advantage of their practical and theoretical knowledge and professional links in the UK and abroad.
On top of all this, the University of West London is a great place to study. Our campus is located in the heart of London’s media centre, close to two tube stations in the beautiful borough of Ealing.
