BA (Hons) Journalism, Media and Communication & Economics

... United Kingdom
... University of Strathclyde

Course Overview

Today’s media industry expands beyond traditional print and broadcast journalism. It includes professional bloggers and vloggers, freelance writers and editors, podcasters, people working in entertainment TV, radio, or film, creators of video games and interactive apps, promoters of ideas and products, and many others.

The most successful professionals in today’s media are highly skilled in reporting, writing, editing and pitching their material, and they are also excellent communicators online and offline and problem-solvers. They are innovative and entrepreneurial, bold and curious, open-minded and collaborative. These are also some of Strathclyde’s core values, which guide our own teaching, research, and public engagement.

Economics aims to understand the activities of the different economic agents – consumers, producers and the government – and how they all fit together. Studying Economics will allow you to explain complex data in simple terms to different audiences. You’ll also develop excellent mathematical, statistical and problem-solving skills.

Pursuing this joint degree will engage you in practical learning in a broad professional context, which includes a critical understanding of the media industry while acquiring technical and professional skills in journalism, communication, economics, information design and management and using them in the dynamic media market of Glasgow and beyond.
