Overview

Communication, PR and Advertising is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Media Studies builds a portfolio across the course, and many departments include an industry placement.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
