About the course

Our BA (Hons) Journalism degree provides practical, professional training for a career in the field. Students develop essential skills for reporting across print, digital, TV, and radio platforms, while exploring journalism's global influence. Equipped with a mobile reporting kit, you'll engage in real-world reporting from the start. The program emphasizes creative, contemporary approaches grounded in traditional media and communication skills, allowing you to master core competencies before specializing in areas like news, broadcasting, features, or design. You'll face academic challenges from industry experts, complete meaningful work placements, and work on live stories to craft engaging narratives. Graduates emerge as adaptable journalists, with many securing roles at organizations such as Sky, BBC, and ITV News, and some earning prestigious awards during their studies.An optional professional placement year is available after your second year, offering a full year with an employer to gain in-depth career experience. This opportunity, supported by the university's extensive employer network and careers team, helps you align placements with your interests, and some students return to these roles post-graduation. Note that placement year fees equate to 20% of the full-time course fee.
