We're proud that, based on recent research carried out by The Times, we're in the top seven courses in the country for media and communication. We like to think we're getting even better. As one of our students, Shaheen Abdouramane, says, "The course is extremely broad and is adaptable to suit the path you wish to take, whether it's media production, cultural studies, gender, race, journalism, advertising or a mixture of all of them. "The great thing is that the lecturers are enthusiastic about what they teach and the support is there if you need it."
