Journalism with Education, BA (Hons)

At Ulster University in the United Kingdom, students can pursue Journalism combined with Education through a unique campus-based program in Coleraine, the only such degree in Northern Ireland. This program explores the theory and practice of journalism alongside key influences like law, economics, politics, and technology. While not a professional training course, it equips students with practical skills—excluding shorthand—as a major subject (four modules per full-time year), paired with a minor in the Arts (two modules per year), such as Education, English, or History.For those interested in teaching, incorporating Education as a minor allows undergraduate study before pursuing a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. Each Education module typically includes a two-hour lecture and one-hour seminar weekly, supplemented by substantial independent learning. Note that this course does not award Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), which is required to teach in state schools in England or Wales.
