Beauty Marketing and Journalism - BA (Hons)

You’ll gain insight into the global beauty industry and will follow the story of products from concept to retail. You'll learn about beauty through the ages and the psychology of industry as well as studying broader fashion-focused modules. This will give you an understanding of how products are created and the influence they have on businesses and people around the world.

At the same time you’ll develop key journalistic skills such as research, writing, broadcasting, communication and multimedia. You’ll study the historical and theoretical backgrounds of journalism and will gain a grounding in media law.

Taught by practising journalists and skilled marketing professionals, the course includes news days where you will work under the same pressures as media professionals and a wealth of work placement opportunities. These give you valuable professional experience as well as helping you to network within the industry.

There are many exciting creative roles this course could help you reach for. You could pursue a career as a writer, as a fashion and beauty industry critic or as a beauty reporter.

You’ll also be equipped to start a career in the wider beauty industry, whether within marketing and communications or in an alternative field of interest such as advertising or merchandising.

This is a new course, but graduates of our related Fashion Marketing and Journalism BA have found employment working as a production assistant and within communications and PR.
