Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Media and Communication] From University of Canterbury

The spectacular growth of Media and Communication at UC since its introduction fifteen years ago reflects the robust growth of media as a profession and the strength of our internationally recognised faculty. UC is ranked in the top 150 universities in the world for Communication and Media Studies (QS World University Rankings by Subject, 2016).

Unlike other media departments in New Zealand, our curriculum is designed to provide students with a critical understanding of how communication and media work within the broader context of society, power and culture. The programme draws on both the arts and social sciences to build a degree that teaches students how to think about media critically and also how to create thoughtful, analytical media content.
