Course Overview

Today’s media industry expands beyond traditional print and broadcast journalism. It includes professional bloggers and vloggers, freelance writers and editors, podcasters, people working in entertainment TV, radio, or film, creators of video games and interactive apps, promoters of ideas and products, and many others.

The most successful professionals in today’s media are highly skilled in reporting, writing, editing and pitching their material, and they are also excellent communicators online and offline and problem-solvers. They are innovative and entrepreneurial, bold and curious, open-minded and collaborative. These are also some of Strathclyde’s core values, which guide our own teaching, research, and public engagement.

Pursuing the BA in Journalism, Media, and Communication will engage you in helpful learning in a broad professional context, which includes a critical understanding of the media industry while acquiring technical and professional skills in journalism, communication, information design and management, and using them in the dynamic media market of Glasgow and beyond. It will also allow you to take a second subject, further enhancing your expertise and university experience.

You can study law at Strathclyde in several ways, one being the BA degree in combination with another subject. Please note that studying law with a BA degree will not qualify you for entry into the legal profession. For professional qualifications in law, students follow the LLB programme.

Law is concerned with the study of the obligations, duties and rights that every member of society has regarding one another and the state.

The study of law is regarded not as purely vocational but as part of a broader education. Please note, however, that studying law with a BA degree will not qualify you for entry into the legal profession. For professional qualifications in law, students follow the LLB programme.
