Journalism

Journalism has been growing more and at a faster rate during the 1990s than almost any other subject in British higher education. This growth is all the more surprising because the UK was late in accepting journalism as a university field of study. Journalism Studies combines all the elements of a good Arts degree with a marketable, career-orientated specialism.
