Bachelor in Journalism and social communication

Journalism and Social Communication is a bachelor's program taught in English over three years (six semesters) at Vistula University in Warsaw, Poland. The program is framed as preparation for work across multiple media industries, teaching students how to gather information, make contacts, and create content for press journalism. Students interested in television journalism learn to work in front of the camera and develop new program and news formats, while those drawn to radio take practical, workshop-based courses to train their voice. The curriculum also covers investigative journalism, which involves gathering information and uncovering scandals, cases of abuse, irregularities, corruption, and crime. Coursework includes subjects in media law and ethics alongside workshop-based practical training. Students learn how to source information effectively and protect confidential sources. Graduates can go on to specialize in international, sports, automotive, fashion, style, or interior journalism, and the program also prepares students for careers as YouTubers, influencers, bloggers, or podcast creators, including how to build, engage, and retain an audience. A journalism program structured this way reflects the reality that today's media graduates need skills across traditional reporting and newer content-creation formats, since audiences now consume news and commentary through both established outlets and independent digital channels. Vistula University positions the degree as a broad entry point into journalism careers, combining foundational reporting and ethics training with practical exposure to television, radio, print, and online and social media production.
