What is the Contemporary Culture and Communications Course?
Contemporary, Culture and Communications has a tradition going back to the 1920`s, when scholars first began to consider human communications as a coherent topic for study.
At the University of Lincoln, the Contemporary Culture and Communications course foundations began back in the early 1990`s within the `Communication Processes` degree, which was very popular and offered interdisciplinary study in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Contemporary Culture and Communications carries on this format of interdisciplinary study, which offers a broad-based education and emphasises transferable academic and work-place skills, rather than a tightly focused degree leading to a specific career path.
In 2005 the course was thoroughly rewritten and the word `culture` was added, to acknowledge that what is studied is modern culture in its communications and media saturated forms.
In summary the programme is ideal for students who wish to keep their career options open and apply their theoretical understandings to real-life projects from a genuine inter-disciplinary perspective.
