Media and Communication and Sociology have now become an exciting new school at the University of Leicester. Each of the former departments have celebrated their 50th anniversary as leaders in their fields and Media boasts a high level of Research and Teaching Excellence, ranked 11 in the UK in the 2016 Complete University Guide.

In only its second submission to the National Research Excellence Framework the research profile of Media and Communication was judged to be 82% World Leading or Internationally Excellent. It was placed 15th overall for media research in the country, and in the top ten when factoring in the high numbers of research active staff.
