Strand Campus
Strand Campus sits along the Thames at London's cultural heart. Alongside world-class teaching spaces, students enjoy access to the pedestrianised Strand Quad, with Somerset House and iconic landmarks just steps away.
Overview
Our Culture, Media and Creative Industries BA gives you a deep understanding of how the cultural and creative industries operate, how media shapes our lives and the world around us, and how you can shape the future of the media and creative sectors.
You’ll get plenty of opportunities to follow your interests and build your own specialism. With a wide choice of modules, you can explore areas like fashion, visual arts, music, performance, film and TV, gaming and more, and how these industries connect and change.
We will also help you build the creative, critical and adaptable thinking skills that employers are looking for. Whatever direction you take after university, you’ll be ready to thrive in creative roles, even ones that don’t exist yet.
Key benefits
- Join a department that’s ranked Top 3 in the UK for Media & Communication Studies (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025).
- Shape your own specialism with a flexible degree that allows you to focus on specific areas of cultural studies, media studies or the creative industries—or combine all three.
- Develop the transferable skills you’ll need to work in the cultural, creative, media and digital sectors, thanks to a real focus on professional development.
- Put on a festival with your fellow students in your third year. In previous years these have taken place in Somerset House, one of London’s most prestigious venues for arts and culture.
- Enjoy being in the heart of London’s cultural industries, on a degree with many guest speakers from the capital's arts, cultural and media industries.
- Enhance your education by studying abroad for a semester in your second year.
CMCI is so unique in its offering of cultural studies, media studies, and creative industries all in one! In breadth and depth, we could go from analysing queer representation in films, to exploring the business models of large media conglomerates, to discussing arts management.
