传媒专业可以按照 Media ,Communication, Journalism 三个方面来看。
Media，涵盖大家了解的大众传媒专业
这个专业不是以实践为主，而是偏纯理论的课程。英国大学一般都会开设此相关课程，比如：Mass Media Management, Culture and Media Studies, Digital Culture Media, Media and Sociology etc. 在此专业课学习的同时，还会涉及社会学，社会语言学，历史，符号学，文化等课程的学习。
Communication, 包含了影视制作专业以及广播专业这个专业是大家比较感兴趣的以理论性和实践性结合的专业。有电视学/电视制作专业，比如：Television Studies, Film and Television Studies, Television and Screen Studies, 会以实践课程为主，比如电视节目制作，欧洲电视历史学等，老师会带领学生做很多独立小短片，通过小组讨论，自主选材构思自己制作，直到完成一部独立的成品。再这个过程中，老师会放手让学生去创意和构思，只是给一些完善的建议，非常有实践性。
除了电视还有电影专业，这个和电视学专业相似，也是实践和理论结合的专业，比如：Film Studies, Film and Television: theory and culture, Screen and Film Studies。除了理论学习，以及实践课程学习，还会学习一些知名的欧美影星的着名影视制作人的成长经历，以及独立去制作和完成一些样片。
广播专业虽然开设此课程的学校不多，但是有很多非常好的实习机会，可以亲临英国伦敦BBC电台现场，观摩节目录制制作流程，与着名主持人和专家学习。
Journalism 新闻专业新闻专业的针对性会比较强，普遍也是理论和实践相结合，但是有的学校的此专业课程设置会以实践课为主，比如：MSc International Journalism (Broadcast/ Periodical/ Magazine)等。学校很多在校老师都是BBC的在职工作人员或者很多着名的在职记者和编辑。专业方向也比较全面：期刊新闻，政治时事新闻，杂志新闻，这个专业需要学生很强的英语功底和文笔。
简单地说，媒体和传播专业学的东西比较宽泛，内容可以包括文化、广告、公关等方面的理论性知识。但新闻专业学习的就比较具体，比如International Journalism，国际新闻，要学的除了一些理论知识外，更包括大量的实践：如新闻写作、新闻报道、出镜等。有时还需要学生学习语言及文学、信息传递及社会组织机构，以及人与人之间的或人与组织之间的行为科学方面的专业知识。
面对众多开设传媒专业的英国大学，选择一个适合自己的、更加适合未来发展的大学来学习传媒，需要慎重考虑。
