Modules you will study

Applied Sociology

This module covers key sociological theories, concepts and evidence. You will apply knowledge and understanding to issues in education, health, crime and other areas of UK social life.

Film, Media and Popular Culture

Students are introduced to critical and cultural theory, and their understanding of the theoretical aspects of film and TV production is developed with an emphasis on storytelling. Students learn about and reflect on the processes involved in film and TV programme production and consider the relationship between film and programme makers and their audiences.

Introduction to Psychology

Students will be offered a historical overview of Psychology, and go on to study aspects of Social, Cognitive and Developmental Psychology, exploring anti-social behaviour, the nature and structure of human memory and the developmental theories of Piaget and Vygotsky.

Studio Practice

Students work in a variety of media, consolidating their skills and developing a range of techniques which will enable them to produce a portfolio of work in response to the module. A range of basic skills will be developed including drawing, painting, 3D sculpture and model-making. Students will be encouraged to develop their critical and conceptual thinking, and to develop their ideas using sketch books and design sheets.

Digital Media

This module looks at a range of digital media and software in relation to students’ ways of working. Students will not only gain practical skills in the conventional tools of digital art and design but will also be encouraged to explore the possibilities of digital media to enhance the potential of their work through experimental approaches.
