Overview

This page covers Journalism and Media across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Journalism mixes production work with theory, and the equipment and studio access differ sharply between departments. We currently work with 2 universities on this course.

Tuition ranges from £22,200 to £26,550 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
