BA (Hons) Journalism, Media and Communications With a Year Abroad in Swansea United Kingdom | Swansea University

As humans, we dedicate more hours to media consumption than to any other daily activity, surpassed only by sleep. The digital era has expanded traditional news outlets with countless online alternatives, offering unprecedented choice but also varying quality. In an age of misinformation, distinguishing factual reporting from opinion has become crucial.

An industry advisory panel regularly reviews the curriculum to maintain relevance. Students will benefit from guest-led workshops and seminars.
