Options include subjects such as Anthropology, Criminology, Sociology, Philosophy, History, Geography, and International Development, which help students understand cultural and social contexts. Business-related subjects like International Business, Management, Marketing, Finance, and Law provide insights into the commercial and organisational aspects of media industries. Students can also choose technical and creative subjects such as Computer Science, Mathematical Studies, Music, and Music Technology, allowing them to develop practical and digital skills relevant to modern media environments. Language options including German, Spanish, and Nua-Ghaeilge further enhance global communication abilities. In addition, students engage with Thematic and Universal Critical Skills modules across different timetable groups, which focus on developing essential skills such as critical thinking, research, communication, and problem-solving. This broad selection of subjects ensures that students can tailor their degree according to their interests and career goals, while gaining a well-rounded understanding of media and its connections to various academic and professional fields.
