Welcome to Media, Communications and Creative Practice at Keele
Media, Communications and Creative Practice is a dynamic course, which involves both practical and theoretical elements. On the practical side, students develop an understanding of and skills in photography, advertising campaigns, news programmes, digital publishing, film and documentary production and post production techniques, and in the third year students are given the opportunity to plan and produce a major creative project. On the theory side, students explore the ways in which we understand the terms media and culture both today and historically, and analyse how a range of media forms such as film, television, photography and literature produce cultural meaning.
"I really enjoy the theory side as well as the practical side as you can do cultural theory but also film making theory."
