Our students see journalism’s bigger picture: freedom of expression, ‘fake news’, media ethics and globalisation, as well as digital reporting techniques. That’s why they become great journalists, communications experts and media researchers.
This research-based course combines study of themes such as globalisation, misinformation and media freedom with some practical newswriting experience.
You’ll cast a critical eye over journalism within an international context, comparing and contrasting media theory and practice around the world. Our academics will also involve you in vital discussions around their pioneering research on media, society and government at a hugely critical moment for freedom of expression.
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate honours degree.
We may also consider your application if you do not meet the standard academic requirements but you have considerable work experience in a media-related role.
