Journalism

Journalism at Portsmouth is a course committed to preparing our students for the exciting, fast-changing world of old and new media, offering its students degree-level study of the skills, software and ethics this career demands.

Embracing print, TV, radio and the web, our undergraduate courses aim to create graduates who are not only employable but sought after by media employers.  Expert lecturers, with records of academic and industrial experience, teach students what they need to know about law, public affairs and how to write news and features of publishable quality, and provide significant feedback.  (Joint honours students complement their learning with higher study in related fields.)  Our state-of-the-art newsroom, built in a converted listed building, provides industry-standard hardware and software for editing, setting, recording and writing the news and articles that let our graduates hit the ground running.  

The BA (Hons) Journalism degree at The University of Portsmouth is accredited by the National Council for the Training of Journalists. Read more about the NCTJ here.
