Students undertake compulsory and elective subjects in both law and media studies.
The workload each year is slightly greater than that required in either single degree to enable students to complete the course in five years. The Law component provides the studies required to practise law, as well as contextual and skills subject in law. Students will develop skills which will help them to research, design and produce materials in these areas. Students may combine the study of the media with the development of practical media communication skills. They may also explore the economic, legal, social, political and cultural aspects of the media.
