Course summary

The overall aim of our Media, Journalism and Culture course is to equip you to become a well-informed citizen in a media-saturated society.

Our courses study the many facets of journalism, media, culture and communications, and consider in an era of globalisation and dynamic social change their impact on society, politics and popular culture. They provide you with job-specific skills such as research methods and optionally, journalistic practice as well as much broader transferable skills valuable to a range of sectors.

This degree begins from the assumption that in order to understand modern society, we need to understand the central role that media and the cultural industries play in that society.

While you will be able to take a limited number of more practical modules, the emphasis of the degree is academic and analytical.

You will join a stimulating intellectual environment committed to maximising your potential through personal development and careers events. Many of our experienced lecturers are internationally recognised in their subject areas.

While this course is both challenging and academic in nature, it does NOT provide vocational journalism training.

Learning and assessment

Our teaching is often led and informed by our research. You will be taught in a supportive environment and assigned a personal tutor who is a member of academic staff and able to advise on a wide range of issues.

There will be multi-media and new media learning and production practices should you opt for some of the more practical journalism and media modules.

Career prospects

Our students have an excellent reputation for finding employment after they graduate and find their skills to be helpful in a range of communications and public relations roles.

They benefit from an ability to write copy quickly, effectively and for a specific audience. Our graduates often succeed in business due to their ability to structure a coherent written and verbal argument when pitching their business ideas.

Some of our graduates utilise their newfound knowledge of current affairs and world politics to pursue a career in journalism.

Because our undergraduate degrees do not provide journalism training or a journalistic accreditation, many chose to progress on to our masters courses, such as broadcast, magazine, news or computational journalism, to gain their practical training. Find out more about careers and employability.

In fact, you will gain skills applicable to a range of modern media driven jobs, recent career pathways and roles have included:
