The BA (Hons) Journalism and Public Relations degree aims to cover topics that are essential for communications professionals to develop analytical techniques and problem-solving abilities, as well as the cross-disciplinary skills needed for a career in journalism and public relations. A combination of journalism and public relations-focused modules offers the opportunity to develop an understanding of how the two disciplines converge. The University is home to Cygnet PR, a student-run PR agency where students have the opportunity to experience working on live projects for external clients. There may be opportunities to work on the University’s student magazine, print and web publications and at its community and student radio stations, Siren FM and Brayford Radio, based on campus.

A combination of journalism and public relations-focused modules offers the opportunity to develop an understanding of how the two disciplines converge. In the first and second years, students can study effective copywriting and design, integrated communication and the fundamentals of journalism, including media law. Students can choose modules from a selection that includes community engagement and reporting diversity. At the end of the second year, students can take part in a professional practice programme for a year or three months before completing their studies. In the final year, students have the opportunity to focus on the areas that most interest them. For the most up to date module information, please visit the course page for this programme on our website. Some programmes provide you with the opportunity to focus your study in a particular area through optional modules. Timetabling arrangements may limit the availability of some optional modules to some students. As the options often reflect staff research interests, they may alter over time due to staff availability.

The way students will be assessed on this course will vary for each module. It could include coursework, such as a dissertation or essay, written and practical exams, portfolio development, group work or presentations to name some examples. Throughout this degree, students may receive tuition from professors, senior lecturers, lecturers, researchers, practitioners, visiting experts or technicians, and they may be supported in their learning by other students.

For each course students may find that there are additional costs. These may be with regard to the specific clothing, materials or equipment required, depending on their subject area. Some courses provide opportunities for students to undertake field work or field trips. Where these are compulsory, the cost for the travel, accommodation and meals may be covered by the University and so is included in the fee. Where these are optional students will normally (unless stated otherwise) be required to pay their own transportation, accommodation and meal costs. With regards to text books, the University provides students who enrol with a comprehensive reading list and our extensive library holds either material or virtual versions of the core texts that students are required to read. However, students may prefer to purchase some of these for themselves and will therefore be responsible for this cost.
