Journalism and Anthropology

Journalism and Media studies. The first year course is made up of Media theory (History of media and journalism, Media and modernity, Narrative and Genre) and media production (writing). In their third year, students are able to specialise in one of the following media production areas : Writing and editing, Photojournalism, Radio, Television, Design or New media.

Anthropology. Anthropology is the systematic study of human beings: past , present and the future; body, mind and spirit. The first year course includes studying human origins, an introduction to socio-cultural anthropology, identity and diversity (e.g. race, gender, age) ; socio-cultural institutions (e.g. kinship, religion) and case studies (examining one or two societies in greater detail)

Students who take the Journalism and Anthropology stream do these two subjects in the mainstream, as well as Extended Studies courses for each of the above courses.  The Extended Studies classes aim to develop reading skills and conceptual understanding of the subjects, to give students assistance in preparing for tutorials and assignments and to develop subject specific vocabulary.
