Our emphasis on employability means that you’ll be taught by professional journalists about everyday life in the industry. And we’ll introduce you to ways of gaining first-hand experiences in journalism – including work placements through our links with various news organisations as well as freelance opportunities.
The course provides the opportunity to study at a partner university overseas, or complete a work placement in industry in your third year.
We’re committed to producing highly capable graduates with the strongest possible skillset. From the start, we treat you not just as a student, but as a working journalist, challenging you to produce work to industry standard so you can excel in a newsroom environment.
This is a full-time course studied over four years. Our curriculum is developed to reflect the latest industry trends. The course builds insight into the media industry, developing a sophisticated skillset that will aid employability. Students develop professional experience first hand – encompassing newsgathering across digital platforms, writing, radio and TV package creation (including the technical operation of equipment and editing software), and digital know-how (including basic coding, website design and app building).
