Why Media at Coventry

Coventry University secured third place for media and film studies in the Guardian University Guide 2026, which reflects both its modern technical facilities and its teaching approach. Those studying here work across specialized studios—Ellen Terry, Delia Derbyshire, and Tank—all located within a minute’s walk of each other in the city center. The Media Loan Shop provides everything from 4K and HD cameras to audio systems and lighting equipment, while its first-come-first-served booking system naturally teaches advance planning, a skill essential for real-world projects.

Media and Communications

The Media and Communications BA (Hons) blends media theory with hands-on experience in journalism, PR, and digital platforms. Participants create content for global audiences while analyzing communication through an ethical lens—critical thinking now matters to employers as much as technical ability. A shared first year brings together people from related disciplines, which expands professional perspective. Core modules cover multiplatform digital skills, visual storytelling through ScreenLab, and media campaign development that builds understanding of how to influence audiences thoughtfully.

Media Production at Coventry University

Media Production BA (Hons) spans formats from podcasts and music videos to games, films, and radio. Participants master multi-camera television production and work with mirrorless cameras, DSLRs, cinema equipment, and game engines—a technical toolkit that opens doors in the rapidly evolving media landscape. The course also maps out roles and career paths within Britain’s media industry. Modules like Music Video Direction or Studio TV and Live Broadcasting prepare graduates for specific market positions, while the final Creative Media Production project becomes the foundation of their professional portfolio.

Communication, Culture and Media

The Communication, Culture and Media MA develops critical and digital capabilities needed for professional success. Participants analyze both traditional and contemporary cultural perspectives while engaging with current cases: AI-generated content, short-form video platforms, and influencer culture. Partnership with the Royal Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) provides 12-month membership with full organizational access. After successfully completing the Professional Practice and Innovation module, graduates receive an RSA digital certificate—recognition of ethical and social responsibility within their profession.

Global Journalism and Public Relations

Global Journalism and Public Relations MA prepares specialists who work confidently across both fields. Industry-leading media companies helped shape the curriculum, ensuring its relevance. Participants create print, digital, audio, video, and immersive content under the guidance of internationally practicing journalists. Coventry University provides broadcast-standard television and radio studios, editing suites, and software for cross-platform journalism to develop these skills. The university also arranges meetings with research department experts, global journalists, and public relations specialists, helping to build valuable contacts during the program itself.

Digital Media

The Digital Media BA (Hons) explores creative possibilities within digital environments: participants learn to design interactive content and craft compelling stories in digital space. Experimentation with 3D modeling, game design, immersive technologies, and audio-video production builds skills for careers at technology’s cutting edge. Programming becomes a creative instrument here—one used to develop unique digital narratives and interactive experiences. Modules like Hack Lab and Creative Play or Interactive Data Play teach responses to real challenges through creative practice, culminating in Choose Your Own Adventure, a final project that lets participants build portfolios reflecting their individual voice.
