Bachelor's degree in Media and Cultural Studies Academic year 2024-2025 The Bachelor's Degree in Cultural Communication from the UdG aims to integrate into a single study programme analysis of the foundations of contemporary culture and the impact of the media on today's society.
One of the distinctive features of the Bachelor's Degree in Cultural Communication is that it looks at the present-day world through the lens of a diverse range of cultural and humanistic disciplines. For this reason, the media, a wide variety of cultural productions and audiovisual icons from our world will become the object of analysis and critique in different modules of the degree. In an environment in which the traditional and emerging cultural industries increasingly call for highly qualified, multi-faceted, discerning professionals, we want to make the reflexive consumption of culture compatible with the technical skills and abilities most needed in today's society. Learning objectives The Bachelor's Degree in Cultural Communication from the UdG Faculty of Arts aims to integrate in a single course analysis of the foundations of contemporary culture and the impact that the media has on society today. The international academic reference point for this programme is, above all, the Anglo-Saxon world's Cultural and Media Studies with the scope that this route offers for revitalising and strengthening the Arts programmes in our faculty. The nature of these studies places emphasis, on the one hand, on the creation and transfer of cultural contents to society and, of the other, collaboration and links with a diverse and emerging professional world. Skills acquired Over the course of the degree in Cultural Communication students will acquire a long list of skills, but here we would like to highlight the following: Ability to critically analyse different cultural productions. Evaluate the sustainability of one's own proposals and performance in the field of cultural and communication studies.
