Journalism with History, BA (Hons)

At Ulster University in the United Kingdom, students can pursue Journalism with History through a combined campus subject programme at Coleraine, the only such degree in Northern Ireland. This programme explores the theory and practice of journalism alongside key influences like law, economics, politics, and technology. While not a professional training course, it provides practical skills—excluding shorthand—and requires students to complete four modules per year in Journalism as a major subject.Journalism is paired with a minor Arts subject, such as Education, English, or History, involving two modules annually to form a full degree. Over three years, students undertake modules worth 120 credit points each year. Choosing History as a minor fosters a critical understanding of various historical periods, themes, and regions, enhancing skills in evaluating historians' arguments and constructing evidence-based perspectives using primary and secondary sources. Note that this course does not confer Qualified Teacher Status.
