Cultural & Media Studies
We are surrounded by the media – it fills our leisure time and shapes our cultural, social and political interests. Film images, magazines and newspapers, posters, and radio and television broadcasts: these all influence our thinking and actions.
Through OU materials you can explore many aspects of how the new multimedia cultural industries have come to dominate our lives. Understanding more about how the media affects our senses, the organisations that control output, and how censorship works, will help you to take a more critical view of the media you engage with every day.
These OU materials will give you valuable background and skills for jobs in the creative, media and cultural industries, public relations, and voluntary and campaigning organisations.
Course Materials: Learning resources from Open University undergraduate and business courses, including print, video, DVD and software. Please note that if you enrol as an Open University student, these resources are included in your student mailings.
Other Resources: Study guides, teaching guides, videos and DVDs not specifically related to Open University courses and Open University Gift Vouchers
