Program details

Overview

This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or International BA in Communication & Media Studies, offered by the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies at the Keele Campus. Students learn to question, analyze and reflect on media systems and communication technologies, studying how information is created and shared across platforms while developing critical thinking and content-creation skills. Coursework examines media's influence on culture and society. Entry is available in the fall, winter and summer terms for both first-year and upper-year students. The program suits students seeking a critical, humanities-based approach to media and communication rather than a technical production or business-school credential.
