Bachelor of Arts in Film and Journalism (with Year Abroad)

Program Overview

Are you impatient to develop a broad range of skills? BA Journalism and Film at Essex offers a creative, flexible degree with a strong foundation for employability. Your degree is balanced 50-50 between the disciplines of Journalism and Film, but there will be many modules where the two disciplines come together, for example in modules such as ‘Documentary Filmmaking’ and ‘Advanced Practical Journalism.’

On the Journalism side, you will become thoroughly grounded in the theory and practice of journalism, develop your craft of writing and broadcasting skills to a high level, and make sound editorial judgements. You will gain investigative and analytical skills, learning to work effectively on your own and in teams to produce the best journalism.

In Film you will study the history and theory of film, and will have the opportunity to gain technical skills in camerawork, editing and film-making. You can also study directing, screenwriting and explore many aspects of screen media, from cinema to social media. In addition, you will gain transferable skills in research, essay-planning and writing, and you will be offered careers guidance and training. In the third year, a specialist option on film journalism, consolidating the two parts of the degree, will be available.

Study abroad

Your education extends beyond the university campus. We support you in expanding your education through offering the opportunity to spend a year or a term studying abroad at one of our partner universities. The four-year version of our degree allows you to spend the third year abroad or employed on a placement abroad (see below).

Studying abroad allows you to experience other cultures and languages, to broaden your degree socially and academically, and to demonstrate to employers that you are adaptable and mature.

If you spend a full year abroad you'll only pay 15% of your usual tuition fee that year. You won't pay any tuition fees to your host university.
