Employers are looking for people who can think strategically, be creative, communicate strongly, work in teams and problem-solve. Skills you’ll be developing when you study our Media and Communication degree.

Here, you’ll be multi-skilling, working with peers on diverse and exciting projects and adapting to an ever-changing media world. Students acquire knowledge about the cultural impact of the media and gain critical insights to make a meaningful contribution to the local and global communication industries and wider society. We encourage flexibility, so you can specialise in Advertising, Broadcasting and Digital Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, Public Relations, Photomedia or Screen Production. Or maybe two of these areas. Or pair one with a major from Arts or Design. It’s your journey, so choose where you want to go! Whatever your chosen path, you can expect to be guided by highly qualified staff, including award-winning practitioners, teachers, and world standard cultural studies academics. You’ll have opportunities for placements and real-world projects, thanks to our strong links with industry. And the students you meet and work with at ECU will probably become industry colleagues of the future.
