Overview

Combining Journalism with Media & Film lets you explore two creative subjects that strengthen each other while giving you space to develop your own style. You’ll experiment with different forms of content creation and work in our radio, podcast and TV studios, as well as with industry‑standard film equipment. This practical experience helps you discover your strengths and specialise in areas that matter to you, from sport and music journalism to fashion, investigative reporting or campaigning journalism.

In Media & Film, you’ll investigate how film and media shape society and how they influence public opinion, identity and culture. In Journalism, you’ll develop an understanding of media law, ethics and the responsibilities of the modern reporter, while studying how film and media genres, styles and movements reflect the time and place they were created.

Explore how gender, sexuality, age, class, disability and ethnicity are represented across journalism, media and film. Understand how different audiences access news and media, and the impact these social divisions have on the way people understand global events.

Guest speakers and visiting professionals from digital marketing, content creation and cultural and heritage events will help you build industry insights and develop real networking opportunities. You’ll complete your own creative projects to industry‑standard briefs, building a strong portfolio of work that showcases your unique voice as a journalist and content creator.

Alongside subject‑specific skills, you will strengthen your critical thinking, analytical skills and confidence as you learn to find, shape and pitch stories for different media formats with expert guidance throughout.

Work experience

During your time at Worcester, you’ll have the opportunity to gain valuable, subject-related work experience that enhances your learning and boosts your employability. In your third year, you will have dedicated work experience module, giving you the chance to apply your skills in a real-world setting.

You’ll also benefit from strong links with media organisations, including the BBC and regional PR agencies, where placements offer a first-hand look at life in the industry. These experiences are designed to help you build confidence, develop professional networks, and understand the fast-paced world of journalism.

Volunteering opportunities are regularly shared with students, allowing you to get involved with local media, community projects, and digital content creation, which will help you build a standout portfolio.

Course content

In your first year you’ll develop your foundational skills before having the chance to choose your specialisms through our selection of optional modules and have various opportunities to develop your own projects to create your portfolio and build up your skillset in preparation for your final year project.

We regularly review our courses to reflect the latest research and developments in the subject area, as well as feedback from students, employers and the wider sector. As a result, modules may change to ensure the course remains current and relevant.

Optional modules will run if enough students choose to study them. It is not guaranteed that all modules will be offered every year.
