PARENTS

Studying at London South Bank University is one of the best decisions I have made. The people, the location - everything here is great. A friend and program alum recommended this program to me, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends!

London: City of Change
This course focuses on London as a world city from 1845 to now, examining its changing character in relation to historical, cultural, literary, and political contexts. Students read from a range of London-set literary texts (fiction, non-fiction, poetry and drama); view selected London-based films; and undertake visits to relevant locations (National Theater, Globe Theater, Borough Market, Tate Modern, Greenwich and British Library). Students are required to participate in a series of guided walks and place visits, in addition to scheduled lectures and seminar workshops delivered by a teaching team from English Studies, Social and Political Studies, Film Studies, and Urban and Leisure Planning.

Syllabus

Shakespeare: Text and Performance
This unit offers students the chance to engage with a selection of Shakespeare's drama, on the page, on stage, and on film. Shakespeare's range as a dramatists will be conveyed by moving from the early to the late plays, and exploring different generic categories such as comedy, history, and tragedy.

Syllabus

Multimedia Journalism
The latest developments in digital journalism show an increased interest by media producers in telling stories not just with words and still pictures, but also with infographics, sound and video. Multimediality is an important feature of journalistic content delivered online. The purpose of this module is to give students a rounded experience of producing stories using a variety of mediums. It is hoped by the end of the module, students will have gained a clear insight into when and how to use a specific medium. Working as a digital journalist requires research skills and a fundamental understanding of how content is optimised for the web. This module will equip students with all the necessary elements in order for a story to be published successfully online.

Syllabus

Internship
Internships allow students to learn from practical experience not attainable in a classroom setting. Internships require a commitment of 130 to 150 hours (3 credits). Positions are available in business, marketing, finance, communications, commerce law, public relations, teaching English and humanitarian aid. Placement is based on professional interests and availability of openings. Previously students have been placed with Lloyds TSB, Accenture Plc, Air France, Working Titles Films and BMW. Actual placement may be with a different company.
