In your first year, you’ll learn the foundations of Journalism and History. You can explore faith, magic and medicine and campaigns for freedom and equality. You’ll learn essential journalistic skills, learn about the media industry and think about the importance of behaving ethically.  

In your second year, you’ll study news, features and radio in more depth alongside the history of journalism. You’ll be able to choose all your History modules. These include family life in the 18th century, crime and society in the 16th century and British imperialism. It’s totally up to you. 

Work placement/study abroad option: Between your second and final year, you’ll have the option to study abroad or do a work placement for up to a year. Not only will this give you an amazing experience to talk about but will also give your CV a boost. If you’d rather go straight to your final year, that’s absolutely fine too. You’ll decide in your second year with us, so there is still plenty of time to think about this.  

In your final year, you’ll do a final year History project known as a dissertation. You’ll do your own research on a topic of your choosing. You can even do an oral history project if you prefer this – a unique opportunity to combine your Journalism and History knowledge. For Journalism, you can specialise in online Journalism, global news reporting or make your own Journalism portfolio. This will give you the chance to gain work experience in a real news setting, such as a newspaper, magazine or newsroom.
