BA Journalism & Mass Communication

The BA Journalism & Mass Communication at Academic City University College, offered through the School of Communication Arts, introduces you to the world of media and information. This page explains what the programme covers, how competitive entry is, and the career paths available to graduates.

What journalism and mass communication programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually introduce you to the principles of news reporting, writing for print and online media, broadcasting, and the role of media in society. You learn how to research stories, interview people, and present information clearly and ethically. Many degrees also touch on public relations, advertising, and digital media production, so you gain a broad understanding of the communications industry.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry into the BA Journalism & Mass Communication at Academic City University College is less competitive than for some other communication and arts programmes. That means your chances of admission depend on meeting the published subject requirements and qualifying for the School of Communication Arts. Check the official admission requirements to see if your WASSCE grades qualify.

The skills you build in writing, research, and media ethics are useful in broadcasting, digital media, corporate communications, and even public service. Some graduates also continue into postgraduate study in media and communication.
