Menu Q Whats the difference between single and joint honours?
Both joint and single honours MCC students study the core strand of the degree which is made up of theory and analysis units covering all major media forms (film, TV, radio, digital media), cultural issues and research for communications topics. All students may go on to undertake an Independent Study of their choice in the third year. The additional units that single honours students study are a logical extension from the core. They investigate a number of specific theoretical issues and include several optional units. In addition, single honours students take practical communications design units (about 15-35% of the single honours degree depending on which options you choose) and may opt to go on a one semester long placement.
