Department of Journalism Studies

General information

The department was founded in 1994 and quickly became one of the UK's major journalism teaching and research establishments. Sheffield is the one traditional university offering applied journalism education - in print, radio, television and online, to undergraduates and postgraduates, with a strong emphasis on ethical practice.

The University of Sheffield is a proven academic centre of excellence and the department strives to provide both theoretical and professional teaching based on the highest journalistic and academic standards. In keeping with the University's ethos, we are a research-led department and have developed strong research and teaching links with other academic departments in the University.

We have an excellent network of international contacts in both the media industry and the academic world, and our staff have built close ties with regional institutions and local print, broadcast and online media. Our graduates have a superb track record in the jobs market both in the UK and internationally.
