BA (Hons) Journalism

... United Kingdom
... De Montfort University

Course Overview

Journalists play a vital role in a democracy, and this course offers the opportunity to pursue a career that is not only exciting but also crucial for informing debate and discussion on a wide range of questions affecting our lives. The course is designed to enable flexibility to allow you to focus on specialist areas of your choice while also preparing you to challenge the status quo. Throughout the degree, you will be encouraged to focus on core issues of social equality, social justice, protest, and marginalized communities in the UK. You will learn the traditional core skills of researching, interviewing, writing and web-publishing, and gain multimedia skills within video and audio production. The journalism sector requires graduates who possess a broad digital multi-platform skill set, knowledge of media law and political structures, and have the ability to question structures in society.
