The rapid flow of visual images with which we communicate today – on the internet, by web and moblogs – is a contemporary manifestation of the importance of visual cultures in everyday life. The Media and Visual Cultures major area equips students with multidisciplinary knowledge and skills in critical art history and theory, digital media, film and television studies, philosophy, and cultural studies. It aims to create career ready graduates with the skills necessary to interpret the production and dissemination of visual images and their meanings in a variety of media as well as cultural and institutional contexts.
