About Journalism Studies, BA - at University of Sheffield

Practise journalism for real with your own patch in the city. Each day will present you with a new challenge: you could be on location filming for a breaking TV news story, heading to the courtroom to hunt down details of a criminal prosecution, or interviewing a sports star for an Instagram reel.

Our students go on to specialise in areas such as TV news, sports reporting, political journalism or even PR and communications.

Before you find your niche, you’ll learn and perfect the full range of skills you need as a contemporary media professional, including:

  • knowing the difference between 'good' and 'bad' journalism;
  • the ability to craft razor-sharp copy for a range of audiences;
  • practising within the bounds of media law and ethics;
  • and how to spot and tell great stories across all platforms, including print, television, radio, web and social media.

You’ll get the chance to make contacts and learn on the job. Our long-standing connections in the media industry open up a huge range of placement opportunities at media organisations like the BBC, Press Association, Bloomberg and the Guardian.

We also offer you the option to take a placement year to help gain vital experience and get ahead of the competition before graduation day.

As a hands-on school at a prestigious Russell Group university, we're uniquely placed to offer you the best of both worlds. You’ll be taught by award-winning editors and authors, active journalists and world-leaders in media and communication research.

If you're interested in understanding as well as doing journalism, this course delivers the perfect balance of practical know-how and theoretical knowledge on the history, theory and key debates of the industry.

Our BA Journalism Studies course is currently accredited by the National Council for the Training of Journalists and the Professional Publishers Association.
