BA (Hons) Education & Journalism, Media and Communication

Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen topic (s).

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.

Education is essential if you wish to study initial teacher education courses. We offer you the chance to develop knowledge of the education systems of Scotland and beyond, looking at issues including policy, social justice, and equity. You'll have the opportunity to put education theory into practice in a community placement and enhance your employability.

Combining education with other subjects provides opportunities for those who wish to work in professions associated with education but don't wish to become teachers. Please note that this course doesn't allow you to qualify as a teacher. However, joint honours Education graduates can explore postgraduate routes into teaching careers (via the Professional Graduate Diploma in Education).
