Journalism and Public Relations - BA(Hons)

Why BA(Hons) Journalism and Public Relations?
Our new BA(Hons) Journalism and Public Relations will give you skills in writing, marketing communications and media strategy across print, screen and internet platforms, making you employable in a range of communications industries. In addition to learning the hands-on craft of traditional reporting and PR, you will produce compelling stories using technologies such as blogs, content marketing, digital and social media. The course will give you an in-depth understanding of the political, economic and media contexts in which both industries work, locally, nationally and internationally.
