Media Studies is one of the streams in the Bachelor of Arts degree at Eduvos. Media Studies equips students with vital skills in writing, research and critical thinking. Students engage with all aspects of the media – from television, radio and digital media, to media regulation, ethics and different communication technologies.

Furthermore students are introduced to a wide range of approaches to mass media and popular culture.

Because of our degree’s unique emphasis on practical application, you will select, conduct and present a research project and complete Work Integrated Learning (WIL) during your third year. In addition,
by introducing you to research, we are preparing you for postgraduate studies, a unique offering of this undergraduate degree. This blended approach ensures that you graduate with essential work skills such as critical thinking, being innovative and adaptable to change, effective problem-solving, collaborating in teams and communicating effectively.

The success of our BA lies in its flexibility of subject choice, a curriculum that is relevant, Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) and smaller classes, as well as teaching staff with both industry and academic experience. 

We give you the opportunity to tailor your subject choice to specialise in an area that interests you the most
