BA (Hons) in Professional Writing and Education Studies

What is Joint Honours?

With joint honours, you can study for an honours degree in two or even three subjects. Find out more about joint honours.

Professional Writing

You can study Professional Writing as a joint subject (half and half with another subject), as a Major subject or as a Minor option. If you choose Professional Writing as a joint or major subject, you'll also have a choice of optional theory modules, which will give you an insight into the historical and current developments of the media industries.

You'll learn about newspaper and magazine journalism, scriptwriting for film, TV and radio, PR, advertising and marketing  and writing for digital media.

Education Studies

Education Studies is about understanding how people develop and learn throughout their lives, and involves the study of educational processes, systems and approaches including the psychological, social, cultural, political and historical contexts. By studying this course, you'll be encouraged to think about the different aspects of education, where and how education happens, including primary education, secondary education, lifelong learning, and higher education.
