Journalism with English, BA (Hons)

At Ulster University in the United Kingdom, students can pursue a Journalism degree combined with a minor subject such as English. As the only such programme in Northern Ireland, it focuses on the theory and practice of journalism within broader contexts like law, economics, politics, and technology. While not a professional training course, it provides practical skills—excluding shorthand—and requires four modules per year in Journalism alongside two in a minor Arts subject, such as Education, English, or History.Opting for English as a minor develops a deep, critical understanding of literature across genres, enhancing skills in textual analysis and argumentation. This involves two modules per year, drawing on expert faculty and research, with options like "Restoration & 18th-century Literature" or "Words in Freedom: Modernist Revolution in Literature." It prepares graduates for careers in publishing, media, public relations, marketing, and beyond. Note that this course does not award Qualified Teacher Status.
