Our BA in Journalism and Sociology will enable you to learn about contemporary society, media, and digital society, alongside developing your journalistic skills, helping you to analyze information and understand it within the wider social context. In the digital society, where demand for news is at an all-time high, this course will give you a strong understanding of the world we live in and how to engage with the audience, allowing you to develop your own unique journalistic style.
