Department of Media and Communications
The Department of Media and Communications is one of the world's leading departments for media teaching and research with internationally renowned researchers and practitioners. Housed in Goldsmiths' New Academic Building with its purpose-built television/film, radio and photography studios, we offer a wide range of programmes at undergraduate, postgraduate and research degree level.
Our activities include East London Lines a local news site founded by the Department and run by our students, and the Goldsmiths' Skillset Media Academy endorsed by Skillset, the UK's body for monitoring media industry skills and training. In the UK's last Research Assessment Exercise 80% of our research was rated 'world leading or internationally excellent'. We regularly host industry debates and talks by international figures in media and cultural research.
