The School of Journalism, Media and Culture, Cardiff University, UK (JOMEC) has a long-standing reputation as a world-leading centre for innovative teaching and research.

The School's researchers engage with pressing contemporary issues and debates across journalism, media and culture bringing together theory and practice. In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework assessment, JOMEC's research was ranked 2nd in the UK in terms of its quality and impact. Cutting-edge research is shared through regular seminars featuring JOMEC colleagues as well as scholars from around the UK and internationally.
