Research
Through our research we are casting innovative light on many aspects of the discipline, from how mass media influence democracy to how English is evolving as an international language.
Our internationally acclaimed research feeds insights such as these directly into our teaching – and we influence many fields, from politics to entertainment, healthcare to e-business.
Programmes
Our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are taught by our research experts and set the standard for our field.
Partnerships
As an outward-looking department, we maintain exciting, productive partnerships with industry, the arts and key creative venues, in Liverpool, nationally and internationally.
