Media Studies (B.A.)

Draw from an interdisciplinary curriculum including a wide variety of different subjects, including hands-on workshops in film, and a variety of other new media.

From daily newspapers to video games, media plays an enormous part in the way we view the world and our place in it. Particularly in today’s high-speed digital environment, we need multimedia researchers and creators to examine the social, political and cultural dimensions and implications of various forms of media. The dynamic Media Studies program at Trent takes a multidisciplinary approach to the understanding of media practices and effects, giving you a platform to gain practical multimedia experience and flex your creative muscles.
