Bacharelado em Estudos de Mídia (Hons)

Are you curious about how the media influences the world we live in? Our BA (Hons) Media Studies course is distinguished by its innovative mix of options. It will give you a fascinating way to gain a deeper academic understanding of this prime form of communication.

You'll learn how global media reflects, shapes and affects societies and cultures, from news and television to social networks. You’ll also consider how identity is formed through the media and its representations in contemporary formats and genres, such as TV talk shows, the comic book industries, and science.

You’ll graduate ready to begin your media career in many communicational fields, but you’ll also have creative and transferable skills you can use in any sector.
