Course Overview

Our BA in Journalism and Language combines the study of a modern language (French, German, Italian, Japanese, or Spanish) with the development of journalistic skills relevant to a wide range of professional contexts. Not only will you become highly competent in your chosen language but you will also gain advanced knowledge of the cultures and societies of the countries in which the language is spoken. The journalism modules are taught by industry professionals with experience not only in how to write for different media and audiences but also in how the industry works. By the end of this journalism and language degree, you will have developed high-level journalistic skills, and an understanding of the cultural, political, and industrial contexts of journalism.

You will also have the opportunity to study a number of cross-cultural modules which will allow you to explore specific themes across a variety of language-speaking areas.

Graduates can pursue career paths in media and cultural institutions, journalism, public relations, or professional communications. Possible professions include:

magazine/newspaper journalist

public relations officer

press sub-editor.

We offer a comprehensive Careers Service - Birkbeck Futures - your career partner during your time at Birkbeck and beyond. At every stage of your career journey, we empower you to take ownership of your future, helping you to make the connection between your experience, education, and future ambitions.
