Overview

Journalism (Communication) is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. 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.

Tuition ranges from £17,400 to £21,795 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.
