The Media and Marketing BA (Hons) combines London Metropolitan University’s world-leading expertise in the media and media industries with this career-focused study of marketing and advertising. The media is ingrained in modern life with television, radio, print media, cinema and the internet as channels for information, education, politics art and entertainment. The degree explores how the media shapes the way we live and its influence on contemporary marketing and corporate communications.
