Our MA Journalism programme provides you with all the skills you will need to work across different platforms – online, TV and radio. You will learn how to find and write news stories, interview and establish contacts. Hands-on camera, studio, editing and mobile journalism skills are taught so that our trainees are confident and competent on their industry work placements.
We also cover the increasingly important areas of social media skills, verification techniques, data journalism, AI and analytics. Shorthand is embedded in the course and you will sit your NCTJ diploma alongside your Masters.
Awareness of professional roles, law, public affairs and the regulatory responsibilities of journalists is taught, along with a critical understanding of the political and commercial structures within which the media operate. All the skills you learn come together for your Journalism Project when you can do more in-depth research on a topic of your choice to produce a multi-media project, a short video documentary or a podcast.
Our annual Journalism and Media Week runs every November consistently attracting big names from the industry. You will report the events live across multimedia platforms, interview guests and develop longer features. Above all else, it’s a great chance to make key contacts. To view some of our MA student reports throughout Journalism and Media Week, visit Journalism and Media Week - Yorkshire Voice
Specialist Facilities You’ll have access to industry-leading spaces and equipment including production rooms, Mac and PC editing suites, and TV, radio and photography studios. These specialist facilities are designed to help you produce high-quality professional work across platforms including web, newspapers, magazines, television and radio.
Scott Trust Bursary Join Us By Applying For The Scott Trust Bursary
The Guardian Foundation’s bursary scheme for a place on Leeds Trinity University’s MA Journalism programme has now opened.
The primary aim of the bursary award is to assist students who face financial difficulty in attaining the qualifications needed to pursue a career in journalism, and who come from backgrounds that are underrepresented in the media. In particular those from a lower socio-economic background; Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds; LGBTQ+ and people with a disability.
Those who are awarded a bursary get tuition fees; living expenses; mentoring and paid work placements at the Guardian. Following graduation, bursary recipients are supported to take their next steps into journalism. Bursary recipients are offered the opportunity to take part in a 9-month fixed term traineeship, with the goal of developing their skills in journalism, newsroom immersion and supervised professional practice.
Check out the Guardian Foundation’s website for more information. Our MA has rare dual accreditation by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) and the Broadcast Journalism Training Council (BJTC).
These are the accreditations that editors look for because they mean that the trainee has successfully completed a course that meets the 'gold standard' of journalism training. The accreditation recognises the quality of the course in developing journalists for the demands of a fast-changing multimedia industry. Students sit the NCTJ Diploma in Journalism alongside their MA at no additional cost for their first attempts.
