Journalism Studies

Introduction:
Stirling is top in Scotland for Journalism in The National Student Survey 2016. Communication and Media Studies is second in Scotland, top 20 in UK in the Complete University Guide 2017.
Journalism Studies combines all the elements of a good Arts degree with a marketable, career- orientated specialism. It provides you with a broad academic grounding in the contextual knowledge, as well as the critical and practical skills, that will enable you to understand, analyse and produce journalism across a range of media – print, broadcast and online.
Stirling is recognised internationally as a centre of excellence in journalism research and has built up a strong reputation for the teaching of journalistic skills. Working journalists regularly contribute to teaching, while journalism lecturers frequently contribute their expertise to the media.
The Film and Media Studies department is a breed apart. This is a holistic approach to film and media that refuses to ghettoise them into the narrow confines that others pursue in other institutions. For me Stirling is simply the best in this regard
