MCS100: Academic Cultures

The aim of this unit is to introduce students to the theory and practice of university study, especially as it is relevant to the disciplines of Media, Critical and Cultural Studies, and International Communication. It will combine work on the concepts, values and ethics behind academic work in those disciplines with a practical introduction to research methods, writing and presentation, group work, planning and organisation, creative thinking and intercultural competency. There will be a balance between (1) work in researching and critiquing the history, place and meaning of university study and (2) focussed practice in skills and techniques necessary for success at university and beyond.
