Why Study Journalism and New Media at UL?

Students of the BA in Journalism and New Media learn core practical journalism skills and, through the study of two specialised subjects, develop their capacities to engage critically with society and the structures of power that operate within it. The course will equip you with a wide range of workplace-focussed skills including: reporting; feature writing; investigative reporting; layout and design, text editing; how to start and manage a magazine and shorthand. You will learn how to apply these skills to print, broadcast journalism and new media - on-line journalism and podcasting.
