Course Details
Journalism as a Combined Honours subject teaches you the work skills and thought processes of the journalist while you study another subject in depth.
These skills are valuable for non-journalism careers as well as for journalism itself. They are also important to those pursuing academic study at a higher level.
The course is ideal for those who are attracted to journalism but who are not yet certain that they want to make a career of it.
Journalists are trained to research complex issues, pick out the main threads quickly and explain them in a clear and accurate way.
Subject Journalism seeks to develop these practical skills, along with journalism theory and the business of media.
