The University offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in subjects including : art, media and design, business, environmental management, multimedia, hospitality, tourism and teaching. Examples include: photojournalism, broadcast journalism, media and music management, illustration, print journalism, adventure leisure management, interactive games design, marketing advertising and communications, sports tourism management, religion philosophy and ethics, creative writing, and environmental sciences.
Many courses have a strong vocational focus, which allows our students to gain both academic knowledge as well as technical and practical experience. Undergraduate degrees are structured through individual modules, and with more than 1000 modules to choose from, this gives some flexibility and allows study programmes to be as individual as required. The modular structure of courses allows students to select courses that can reflect individual interests and career aspirations. Take a look at our website for a comprehensive listing of our courses and modules.
