Division of Communications, Media and Culture

Since its foundation in 1978, the Division of Communications, Media and Culture within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Stirling has developed into an internationally renowned centre for research and teaching. Ranked Top in Scotland for Journalism and Media Studies (Guardian 2019, NSS 2018), the division consistently draws high ratings for its teaching at all levels. Our students frequently win awards at major national competitions – including 4 Scottish awards and 1 UK-wide RTS award during 2018 – and many go on to become successful practitioners, entrepreneurs and executives in the media and communications industries globally. Communications, Media and Culture has built a broad spectrum of research expertise in recent years, encompassing research output in the humanities, social sciences and management, and has continued to give due priority to long-existing strengths in screen studies, while also retaining the focus on media sociology and political communications which were a particular feature of Stirling during the 1990s. On the back of its continuing success and achievements, recent growth has seen the arrival of a group of talented new colleagues with diverse interests ranging from data journalism and sound to digital publishing. The Division now offers a wide choice of options in taught graduate and undergraduate programmes, and in doctoral research, including theoretical study in the field of media and culture, as well as vocational work on the media, communications and journalism industries.
