This innovative programme combines the study of both English literature and the English language in its many varieties and uses with a minor programme that introduces students to a wide range of skills and disciplines associated with the use of English in the media, communications and journalism. It differs from the alternative combination of English Studies with Media Communications in the emphasis placed, in the last half-year of study, on preparing students for work specifically as a journalist. Core courses in Broadcast Journalism and Photojournalism allow you to specialise within the field and acquire key skills and understanding of the structure, design and language of these visual media. This programme is primarily aimed at native and second language speakers of English, or very advanced EFL speakers. An alternative programme for very advanced EFL speakers is English Studies with Media Communications. For competent EFL speakers, the Communication (EFL) and Media Studies programme offers a degree with a related but somewhat different focus. |
