Description | Ever wondered how past events shape the current world? You’ll learn how the past affects today’s world, how people learn (or don’t learn) from these events. You’ll see patterns and parallels between the past and present. You’ll critically analyse how events are told by different people.
The famous war reporter, Kate Adie, described journalism as “a ringside seat at history” and by studying both subjects together you’ll get the chance to think both about how past events were covered and how current news stories and features can help us understand both past and present better. You’ll start to learn to write and broadcast using journalism conventions while building confidence and communication skills through learning to write articles, blogs and broadcast. You’ll even take a module looking at some of the journalistic stories that have changed History alongside learning to be critical of what you read and how to avoid disseminating or being taken in by fake news. The University uses a variety of teaching methods. For Journalism and History, you'll have interactive workshops with the occasional lecture. This course is about much more than sitting in a classroom. It’s about doing practical work to get you ready for a career, with employability skills built into all modules. It’s no wonder that 80% of graduates are in work or doing further study 15 months after the course (Graduate Outcomes, 2019/2020). History and Journalism graduates have in the past gone into areas such as journalism, marketing, PR and the civil service.
