This programme will provide you with a wealth of transferable skills and knowledge, opening doors to a variety of career paths, in journalism and the media or beyond.
The Welsh course is relevant to contemporary Wales and is delivered by a school noted for its research quality and impact. This course aims to produce graduates with a thorough (academic and practical) understanding of the Welsh language, its literature and culture, a high level of written and oral skills and well-developed employability and creative skills relevant to modern Wales.
The overall aim of Journalism is to equip students to become well informed citizens in a media saturated society. It begins with the assumption that in order to understand modern society, we need to understand the central role that media and the cultural industries play in that society. While you will be able to take some practical modules, the emphasis of the degree is academic and analytical.
