Course programme

BA (Hons) Fashion Journalism is situated in the School of Media and Communication, and is a contemporary degree course that produces accurate, ethical journalists who can operate effectively in any part of the media, covering any topic and delivering content via any platform, whether print, broadcast or online. Students on this course study a variety of writing skills for journalism, research techniques, Teeline shorthand, visual communication and media law, as well as graphic media and multi-media disciplines. Students learn how to identify trends, analyse markets and target their readers and viewers. Fashion is considered in its widest sense, from its cultural importance to the social and ethical issues that concern the industry, as well as through the narrower lens of catwalk and street style. The theory and practical skills of fashion journalism are explored, together with the wider perspective provided by the Cultural and Historical Studies programme that all students undertake. You will acquire the skill sets, critical thinking, ethical awareness and subject knowledge to be able to work as a practising journalist. In the second year students have the opportunity to do a short work placement, and these have been with a number of prestigious companies, including British Film Institute, Dazed and Confused, Nick Knight, Vogue, Sunday Times and NET-A-PORTER, among others. The course attracts a number of high profile speakers each year, and recent speakers include Hadley Freeman from The Guardian, Stefan Seigal, the founder and CE of NOT JUST A LABEL, Richard Bee from the BBC, Martin Raymond from The Future Laboratory, Perry Price, Innovation Director of Dare Digital, and Colin McDowell, author, journalist and founder of Fashion Fringe. Graduates from this course are competent, confident professionals who can move into the media workplace and make a significant contribution. Recent graduates are currently working on a variety of magazines and newspapers, as well as on online sites, whilst other graduates with a particular interest in broadcast can be found working at innovative content producing companies.
