Immerse yourself in the worlds of media, communication, and international development, and study the complex relationship between them. Discover the ways charities and other development organisations communicate about famine, poverty, and developing countries, and how they affect public attitudes. Explore why some humanitarian crises make it onto our TV screens and others don’t, and ask what effect is this has on government policy. You’ll also ask, how important is press freedom and freedom of speech in promoting democracy and economic growth? What is the impact of social media in developing countries – do Facebook and Twitter facilitate citizens' engagement with politics or do they undermine genuine political participation? These are just some of the key questions and problems that you’ll explore on this fascinating course. In your third year, you’ll spend three to four months gaining work experience abroad.
