What makes our Digital Media undergraduate degrees different and how do they prepare our students for the fast-changing media and communication industries and digital media roles of the future.
In this article, we’ll reveal five reasons why you should choose the University of Westminster for your media degree.
Shape your degree to fit your interests and ambitions
We offer four Digital Media courses tailored to suit your interests.
- Digital Media and Communication BA Honours
- Digital Media and Journalism BA Honours
- Digital Media Production BA Honours
- Digital Media, Public Relations and Advertising BA Honours
Whether you’re passionate about journalism, media production, public relations and advertising, or communications, there’s a course designed specifically for you.
Our courses start with a shared first year, where you’ll study alongside students on other Digital Media courses. Together you’ll develop your skills in content creation, digital media production, storytelling and research. In your second and third year, you’ll build on your practical skills and conceptual insights within your chosen course. However you’ll still be able to take optional modules from any of the our other Digital Media courses, so that you graduate having studied a degree that fits you, your interests, skills, and ambitions.
Study at one of the top media schools in the country. Live in one of the greatest cities on earth
The University of Westminster is one of the UK’s leading universities for journalism, publishing and public relations. Our courses are ranked in the top 10 for Communication and Media Studies. Our rich heritage and industry-level facilities will help you to develop and broaden your skillset.
Our cutting-edge facilities include professional film, television, and podcasting studios, radio stations, and photography darkrooms. Studying at Westminster will give you the opportunity to meet guest speakers from globally renowned companies and work with world-leading researchers, while living in London will let you experience life in one of the world’s truly global cities.
Get more than just the skills you need in your future career
Wherever your ambitions and aspirations lead you, you will graduate into a world that will be very different from the world of today. Studying at Westminster will give you more than just a skillset. It will give you contact with industry leaders and innovators, opportunities for work experience during your studies, the chance to develop a portfolio of work, and the transformational experience of a full year in industry or studying abroad.
You – yes you! – are the future of your industry.
They might think that people like you don’t stand a chance of working in a job like that. Westminster graduates are proving them wrong, year after year. The majority of our students are from incredibly diverse backgrounds. In fact, the Institute for Fiscal Studies, in partnership with the Sutton Trust, has recently ranked the University of Westminster 2nd in the UK for social mobility. Employers come to us because they want our talented, fresh, and diverse graduates.
Make a change for good
The University of Westminster is committed to social equality and sustainability. Getting involved with the Student Volunteering Service will give you the opportunity to make a difference to local communities, get contact with third sector organisations and see your achievements recognised with a Westminster Employability Award. And with modules on ethics, diversity, and the media’s role in the climate crisis, as a Digital Media student, you won’t be just learning about the world, you’ll be learning how to shape the world for a brighter future.
