This course is for people who want to combine rigorous training in journalism with the study of great literature, not only classics but also texts that take them off the beaten track. Our assessment strategy is designed to support student-centred learning, based on our understanding that everyone has different needs, strengths and enthusiasms. There will be a variety of assessment methods including ones that reflect modern journalistic practices. 94% of students on this course say that their communication and problem-solving skills have improved, and that staff make the subject interesting. 100% feel that Northumbria’s library resources meet their needs, according to Unistats 2015. With highly honed skills in journalism, analysis and communication, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running once you start a career. Recent graduates have gone on to work for news outlets, PR firms, radio stations and marketing companies. There are logical career paths into all types of journalism, advertising, media research, publicity and promotion, and teaching. You can also undertake further study at postgraduate level with courses such as our Mass Communication MSc and English Literature MA.
