Studying journalism, communications and the media at Cardiff University

Here in Cardiff University’s School of Journalism, Media and Culture we offer both single honours and joint honours degrees. Each one of these lasts three years.

If you study a single honours programme, all your studies will be here with us, while on a joint honours programme you’ll spend half your time with us, and half in your other subject’s building.

The first thing you need to know is that all of our undergraduate programmes are primarily academic, theoretical programmes, which teach you more about journalism, media and the cultural Industries than they train you how to be a journalist, TV producer or film maker.
