Journalism and English

About this course

Journalism and English is a combination that reflects the genuine relationship between the craft of writing and the practice of reporting: both disciplines require close attention to language, a capacity to think clearly under pressure, and the ability to communicate with purpose and precision. English brings the critical and analytical tools developed through literary study, including the ability to read texts for their meanings, contexts, and construction, and to write with range and sophistication. Journalism adds the professional skills of newsgathering, verification, storytelling across multiple platforms, and an understanding of the media landscape in which those stories are told. At the University of Leicester, this three-year full-time programme is built around both the cornerstones of English literature and the evolving realities of the contemporary media ecosystem.
