Your Journalism lecturers are practising journalists and journalism theorists who are experienced in a range of platforms and you will learn to both write and broadcast. There are also ample opportunities to get involved in extracurricular activities, such as clubs and societies. As part of the Oral History team, some of our students produced interviews for a BBC Radio 4 programme, which was commended for the Public History Prize by the Royal Historical Society. Many journalism students take part in our Journalism Society, or come to the Media Matters series where you can meet industry practitioners ranging from people running features agencies looking for new talent to owners of their own media companies. Herts is one of the few universities in the UK with an active Oral History team. This is all about recording people’s stories before they are lost forever. This can be on topical issues, such as immigration and retirement. You could set up your very own project. For example, we've run projects with Watford and Stevenage Football Clubs, local charities, and groups from the wider community, on projects ranging from migrant experiences to the de Havilland Aircraft CompanyDuration- 3 years(4 year with sandwich year)Study abroad optionWork placement option
