Media and Communication Graduate 2025
This project explores how Italian cuisine is transformed as it spreads internationally, using the concept of Cultural Cannibalism to examine the disconnect between traditional recipes and their commercialised versions. It highlights how globalisation, convenience culture and shifting health trends reshape not only ingredients and techniques but also the cultural meanings behind dishes. Presented through the medium of a cookbook, the project uses visual storytelling and recipe language to compare authentic dishes with their adapted counterparts, treating each as a cultural artefact. It invites readers to reflect on how food becomes a powerful expression of identity, transformation and loss, and to consider what is preserved or forgotten when culture is consumed.
Our BA Media and Communications programme provides an academic, creative and critical understanding of the media for roles in a variety of creative industries and backgrounds. By the end of our Media and Communications degree, you’ll know how to produce creative content across different kinds of media, including writing, camera use, sound recording and post-production/editing. The course supports students in developing a broad portfolio of independent critical and creative outputs, and to explore how their own practice relates to the real-world media and creative industries.
