The study of two closely related fields such as English and Journalism encourages students to analyse a diverse range of literary approaches and build a solid technical foundation as a writer.

This degree allows students to combine the study of English literature with a thorough grounding in a vibrant newsroom environment.

Journalism modules are designed to equip students with essential knowledge and skills relevant to today’s rapidly changing media landscape, while the English side of the programme follows a chronological study of English literature from medieval to contemporary writing.

Current modules include Essential Journalism; Law, Ethics and Regulation; and Life Writing.

Students on the course can examine a rich and comprehensive range of works across numerous genres, while enjoying the culture of a newsroom and developing the skills of a journalist.

All of the University’s journalism programmes are recognised for excellence by the European Journalism Training Association.
