BA (Hons) in Media Studies and International Relations & Global Development

What is Joint Honours?

With joint honours, you can study for an honours degree in two or even three subjects. Find out more about joint honours.

Media Studies

A joint honours degree is perfect for you if you want to study more than one subject. You can combine Media Studies with one or two other joint honours courses that are offered at our Derby Campus to create your own joint honours degree. You will be taught with students studying BA (Hons) Media Studies, but the modules you'll study will depend on how you decide to combine the subjects you choose.

You'll develop a high level of media literacy and an understanding of forms of media power and manipulation.

International Relations and Global Development

The world is increasingly becoming a more interconnected and complex place. During this course you'll explore the environmental, geographical, political, social, cultural and economic aspects of international relations and the challenges it faces. You'll also evaluate global development, looking at the complex and uneven patterns associated with the process of globalisation. Throughout the course you'll study key international relations and development themes, such as the relationship between the state and its citizens, the politics of development as reflected in the growing development gap between rich and poor countries, the idea of social justice, human rights, globalisation and democratisation.
