The BA (Hons) Media Studies degree offers students the opportunity to examine the significant role of the media in today's global society, and to develop advanced critical and creative skills. Media in the 21st Century acts as a source of information and entertainment and encompasses film, television, radio and digital media. The course offers the opportunity to explore past achievements in the field of media studies and encourages students to think critically about the evolving role of the media in today's society. It is essential for us to build on past achievements in our field of study but also to be able to think critically in new ways about the changing world and our part in it. We aim to develop our Media Studies students to be attuned to these shifts occurring in the present. The Lincoln School of Film and Media offers a creative community of experienced staff, ambitious students and inspiring visiting speakers including professionals from the BBC, Panasonic, Microsoft, BAFTA and the British Film Institute. We promote a collaborative, research-engaged ethos, reflecting a diversity of interests. Lincoln is distinctive in its commitment to a spirit of collective enquiry, inspired by the University’s ‘Student as Producer’ initiative. Through our teaching and research we aim to produce an intellectual commons and to participate in the transformation of the social world.
