BA(Hons) Journalism: University of East London

About the programme

More than just ‘the first draft of history’, journalism is a key source of understanding and misunderstanding about the world around us. To study journalism is to investigate both sides of this contradictory profession.

The Journalism programme offers rehearsal in techniques of journalism such as writing and editing, together with theoretically informed inquiry into the production and consumption of journalism and the changing relations between journalism and society.

Career opportunities

Graduates are working in national or local newspaper journalism, others in public relations, while still others have gone into teaching or onto postgraduate study. This is indicative of the range of career paths which you may follow.
