Introduction
BA (Hons) International Journalism is designed for UK and non-UK students who are interested in global dynamics in the contemporary world and intend to work as journalists in an international environment.
The United Kingdom is one of the most important bases for international news organisations and global networks in the world. With a unique cultural access to both sides of the Atlantic and a defining influence all over the world, it is perhaps one of the best places to study international journalism.
This vocational course aims to train future journalists to work in international media, global networks and news agencies. The programme intends to prepare professionals to be able to work as editors, staff writers, correspondents and producers for any media worldwide.
The course is a mix of practical modules practising writing and reporting in print, radio, TV and online journalism with theory modules studying media law, ethics, media theory and international politics. Specifically, the course integrates professional training in journalistic skills with the study of international issues that are relevant to the work of news organisations.
It has some modules in common with the BA (Hons) Journalism programme so that students on the two programmes learn the fundamental skills and theory together and share their experiences.
If you are interested in travelling, working abroad and reporting exciting stories from different parts of the world, this is the course for you.
Students publish some of their own work on the department's website,
www.JMU-journalism.org.uk , which you are invited to visit.
