Course summary

Storytelling takes many forms, and on our new BA (Hons) Journalism & Communications degree course at UCA Farnham, you’ll learn how to tell a whole world of stories in a compelling and engaging way. Whether you’re aiming to become a journalist or work in the wider communications industry such as public relations, marketing or corporate or internal communications, you’ll gain the skills to make your mark. From the get-go, you’ll be encouraged to find exciting people with interesting stories and to tell them in your own unique way. You’ll be taught to produce journalism for different platforms – from apps, websites and magazines to television, radio, podcasts, and social media – and to find your own distinctive specialism such as culture, the environment, music, fashion, sport, politics or equality and human rights. With access to our industry-level facilities including a three-camera TV studio, a broadcast newsroom, radio studios and dedicated computer suites, you'll combine strong creative practice with technical skills that will underpin the extensive development of your academic and theoretical knowledge of journalism, public relations, and the global communications industry.
