Our MA Journalism is an intense programme that prepares graduates for the dynamic and competitive world of journalism and communications. It has the rare advantage of dual accreditation by the National Council for the Training of Journalism (NCTJ) and the British Journalism Training Council (BJTC).

This highly-regarded combination, along with our impressive work placement and industry mentoring programmes, opens the doors to organisations including; the BBC, ITV, The Express, Sky Sports and a whole network of local, regional and national newspapers and radio stations.

​The MA Journalism provides a comprehensive understanding of professional journalism practice, including; researching and substantiating news stories, interviewing techniques, establishing contacts and shorthand. Hands-on camera, studio, editing and mobile journalism (MOJO) skills are taught so that our trainees are confident and competent on their industry work placements.

Awareness of professional roles, law, public affairs and the regulatory responsibilities of journalists are taught along with a critical understanding of the political and commercial structures within which the media operate. News skills are refined and there are opportunities to research and cover specific areas of interest to showcase a professional versatility across a range of media platforms.
