Welcome from the Head of Department

On behalf of the Department of Communication & Media and the School of the Arts, I am delighted to welcome you as a new student. You are about to join a leading centre for the study of how ideas are constructed, influenced and shared; where innovative research is casting light on many aspects of life and society today – including the impact of digital and social media on everyday life and political processes.

As a Communication & Media student, you’ll be part of the School of the Arts, home to a wider community of scholars from five different disciplines. We are sure you will be inspired by and benefit from the breadth and vitality within the School of the Arts, with world-class teaching and in-depth specialist expertise available to you. The School also has a dedicated Student Support Centre who will help through your time at University.

You’ll find lots of useful information on the Department and School websites, and please do take the time to explore all the information on our 'welcome' pages.

I wish you all the very best as you settle into studying with us at the University of Liverpool.

Professor Kay O’Halloran, Head of Communication and Media
