ABOUT USThe University of Westminster is a leader in the study of the media with a top-rated department that scores highly for both its teaching quality and research.
The undergraduate degrees consist of four separate courses, all with their own practice elements, which share a common ‘spine’ of analysis and teaching.
The four courses are: Journalism Public Relations Radio Production Television
On each course, students spend roughly half their time engaged on practice /
production-based work and half their time addressing issues of context and analysis concerning the media. Some modules combine both practice and analysis. We firmly believe that this balance delivers a rigorous and intellectually stimulating education, along with a serious, professional training for a job in the media.
WORK PLACEMENTDuring the course of their three years at Westminster students are encouraged to do as many work experience placements as possible. Indeed it is apart of your degree that you do work experience. This can be done at any time from the end of the second to the end of the third year, or during the intervening vacations.

YOUR ROUTE THROUGH THE COURSE
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FORMedia Studies is a very popular course, so selection is very competitive. We are looking for applicants with three qualities.
a keen and considered interest in the media the ability to express yourself clearly and thoughtfully in writing and in a group interview a high general level of intellectual and analytical skills.
Our minimum entry requirements are BBB at A’ level (or equivalent points from other qualifications). We very much welcome applications from mature students, including ones without formal qualifications, and from students outside of the UK, providing there is evidence of equivalent academic achievement.
HOW THE COURSE WORKSThere are two semesters each year and in each one you normally study three or four modules.
Analysis modules are generally taught with a weekly lecture and seminar running over the whole semester. Some modules run for a whole year, over both semesters.Practice modules usually run two days a week, for six weeks.
There are no end-of-year exams in the Media Studies degrees. Instead, we have continuous assessment. On analysis modules this will generally consist of two essays per module, sometimes a seminar presentation and occasionally a practical piece of work. On practice modules, you will be assessed by practical exercises (eg the media products you produce, team work and individual effort) as well as written assignments.
APPLICATION PROCESS Applications for entry to this course must be made through UCAS. Rosehill, New Barn Lane, Cheltenham, GL52 3LZ. 0870 1122200, www.ucas.ac.uk.
On the basis of what you write in your UCAS form and your predicted (or achieved) exams results we shortlist candidates for interview in person or
ask overseas candidates to submit a questionnaire (which forms the basis of a later telephone interview). Offers of places are made after the interview process.
