Choosing to study a joint honours degree enables students to shape their study according to their strengths, interests and career ambitions. Combining two subjects can give your degree an international or industry perspective that will give you the edge that employers are looking for. Communication and Society Fascinating new forms of politics, economics and creative enterprises are rapidly challenging many core assumptions about human communication and identity. The possession and transfer of knowledge now lies at the heart of daily life and it is more important than ever to understand various aspects of communication. You will look at communication between individuals, groups and organisations, humanity and nature, and the evolving media through which communication takes place. This course offers a wide choice of interesting and engaging modules. The core of this course draws on Psychology and Sociology, and also includes aspects of Philosophy, History and Anthropology. No previous study in any of these areas is required. You will study a diverse range of topics including non-verbal, spoken and unconscious communication; the history of communication; and digital cultures. The fascinating range of subject areas that this course covers make it an ideal combination with our modern range of course options. Film and TV You'll learn about the film and television industries, as well as other factors that shape the movies and shows you see on screen. The course will build your understanding of how films and TV programmes work, how we make sense of them and how they convey meaning. You'll also learn about their audiences, and explore how they function in the age of global corporations and digital media. As a Film and TV student at NTU, you'll experience our unique slant on this fascinating area. Our diverse choice of modules not only explore fundamental approaches and innovative thinking within film and television study, but also allow you to pursue your own specialist interests. We stand out for the range of cultures our course covers, and for the opportunity we bring you to study European cinema in depth, with modules available during each year of your degree. As well as their specialist knowledge, our staff bring a real enthusiasm and commitment to their teaching. This course is taught by a team of eminent researchers. In the latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 85% of NTU Communication, Culture and Media research was assessed as world leading or international quality. For you this means that the course is informed by the latest thinking and you’ll learn from people with a real passion for their subject.
