Communication is the basis of meaning. To understand how to communicate is to know who we are and how we ought to live.In the 21st century, as professional work becomes ever more specialised and shaped by the demands of the digital world, there will be a corresponding need for the next generation of graduates to become highly skilled communicators with a capacity to speak and write effectively, eloquently, with cultural sensitivity and technological sophistication – across a range of different media.The Communications and Philosophy degree will address these issues explicitly by developing your knowledge and understanding of contemporary communication processes and practices in their most fundamental forms. You will study the relationship between language, thought and meaning, understand the relationship between communication, dialogue, and self-knowledge across a range of global philosophical perspectives, as well as develop an understanding of the psychological, sociological, and political dimensions of contemporary communications processes and practices.With these to the fore, the course will offer a fully interdisciplinary approach to the study of the philosophy, psychology and sociology of communication in order to analyse and explain the complex interrelations that exist between the logical, psychological ethical, social, political, and digital dimensions of communication in its multivariate forms. Specific emphasis will be placed upon the way that a deeper understanding of contemporary communication is key to unlocking the employability potential of undergraduates in the Humanities for future, high skilled, professional roles.
