They should have an understanding of how the media work from a variety of disciplinary positions and be able to look for and develop opportunities to use their skills and learning across a wide range of professional occupations, including – though not exclusively – in the media.

Understanding of the workings of the media and their broad cultural and social impacts; understanding of the pleasures of media consumption.
