Program overview
A three year honours degree in journalism, covering news reporting and writing, media law and ethics, multimedia production, digital content creation and a portfolio.
Attaching content creation to journalism is realistic, since most paid opportunities now sit in branded and digital content rather than in newsrooms.
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Journalism with Content Creation is taught at the University of West London, a UK university with degree awarding powers. Because the journalism degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after the journalism degree ends, or three years for a doctorate. To claim it after the journalism degree you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. One limit applies to the journalism degree as to every taught course in Britain: the rules introduced in January 2024 stop taught students bringing a spouse or children as dependants, so the journalism degree cannot support a family move.
Candidates for Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Journalism with Content Creation present Class 12 or equivalent at 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the journalism degree is recorded at GBP 16,750 a year. UWL charges no application fee, so applying for the journalism degree costs you nothing, and no scholarship is recorded against it. the journalism degree lists four entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages the the journalism degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
