About this course


The course aims to enable understudies to: Understand a range of critical theoretical, historical, political economic and sociological approaches to studying journalism.

Demonstrate a good grasp of Jurgen Habermas’ ideal of the public sphere, and the centrality of journalism within.

Demonstrate an understanding of the ‘refeudalisation’ of the public sphere via the forces of professionalism, propaganda, public relations, interest groups, neo liberalism and market pressures.

Analytically situate the development of the core journalistic ideals, practices and forms over time.

Demonstrate an understanding of the complex relationship between journalism, the state and the economy.


Studying Modern Languages opens the door to a wide variety of careers. Many Bangor Modern Languages graduates have, of course, gone into teaching and translating, but just as many have embarked upon successful careers in the civil service, business and commerce, industry and the media. The skills you learn whilst studying languages – cultural awareness, communication, accuracy, planning and logical analysis – are valued highly by employers from all sectors of the economy.

260 240 points normally including A2 level in German.
We consider mature students on individual merit.

Course programme

What will you study on this course? 40 of your 120 credits each year will be in Journalism. Your study of the German language is the same in scope and number of credits as for single honours German; you take fewer German options in the second and final years, as your 40 credits in Journalism take their place. Residence Abroad: You go to a German-speaking country for the entire third year and the same options apply as for single honours German. Modules for the current academic year Module listings are for guide purposes only and are subject to change.
