Overview

Our Media & Journalism degrees offer you endless opportunities to strengthen your skills as a creative thinker and effective writer, and teach you how to engage audiences across different media platforms. 

As a student at UCA, you’ll be stretched creatively and shown how to use imaginative solutions. We’ve created an open and friendly learning environment that thrives on active discussions - our courses are often taught in small groups, so lecturers will get to know you and your interests quickly. We run a wide range of trips and host regular guest speakers on specific subjects to enhance your knowledge and to keep tuition varied and stimulating. 

Our teaching staff are hugely knowledgeable about their subject areas, with some working for organisations such as the BBC, LBC, the Guardian and one of Britain’s largest magazine publishers. At UCA, you can also draw on expertise from specialists in areas like photography and film to enhance your projects, and your fellow students will provide a rich source of news and stories for budding journalists to capture and communicate. 

We encourage our students to aim high, and some have gone on to secure interviews with household names such as Jessica Ennis-Hill, Mo Farah and Jonny Wilkinson. Your drive will help you achieve great things while studying at UCA, and when you leave you can join many of our graduates who now work in the newspaper, television, online, PR and media industries.
