Our BA(Hons) Media and Journalism will develop your writing and production skills across print, screen and digital platforms, making you employable in a wide range of communications industries. In addition to learning the hands-on craft of traditional reporting, you will produce compelling, well-researched stories using blogs, content marketing and social media, developing creative ways of engaging diverse audiences. The course will also give you an in-depth understanding of the political, economic and media contexts in which today's media are produced and consumed, locally, nationally and internationally. In a fast-moving media landscape, where traditional communications have had to change and adapt, you have the potential to turn your skills into a rewarding, well-paid career.

A broad range of organisations, at home and abroad, are looking for the skills you will gain on this degree. You will be well placed for a career in TV, radio, press and digital journalism, news editing, web development, publishing, media production, computer services, communication technologies, marketing and public relations, advertising and copywriting, audience research and media criticism. Some graduates go on to study for an MA or PGCE.
