Undergraduate Study in Journalism

Our undergraduate degrees are a combination of critical theory and professional practice. Our students explore how journalism - and media more widely - shapes society, engaging with issues such as social justice, power, and identity, all while gaining the hands-on skills needed to succeed in a constantly-evolving industry.

Whether you're producing documentary films, writing copy, or analysing digital culture, you’ll work in facilities and use equipment that's industry-standard. 

Our staff are award-winning practitioners and active, world-leading researchers. They'll ensure that the skills you gain are cutting-edge and that your critical thinking is rigorous.

We see our graduates as agents of change. By the end of your programme, you’ll build a comprehensive portfolio through live projects and collaborations with the creative industries. 

This practical experience, grounded in deep critical understanding, will prepare you for a fast-paced, meaningful career across media, film, journalism, and communications.
