UK Journalism Courses

Introduction to Journalism

A Journalism degree is one of the oldest and most esteemed courses a student can study, and the continued emergence of technology and ever changing trends means the role and status of journalism in the 21st century is constantly evolving.

A UK Journalism course focuses on the core skills needed to prepare you for a career in both print and online. You will focus on the practice of investigation and reporting of events, issues, and trends to a broad audience, with modules taking place on digital journalism, journalism in a wider global context, magazine journalism, multi-media journalism and the craft of short hand.
