The BA (Hons) Media & Cultural Studies is an exciting new degree that combines two increasingly popular fields of study. Cultural Studies began in Britain in the 1950s and later had an enormous impact on the United States and Europe. As a focus of study, it broke historically with elite conceptions of culture and focused, instead, on popular cultural forms and the whole life-ways of individuals in contemporary society. Cultural Studies combines elements of sociology, literary and film studies with qualitative and ethnographic research methods to allow students to critically engage with such topics as globalisation, ethnicity and race, the body, sexuality, religion and politics, to name but a few. Uniquely, this programme also allows students to engage with themes such as the origin of culture, language and violence.
