Overview
What does it mean to be a journalist in today’s world? And what does the future of news look like?
Our MA Journalism will equip you with skills in multiplatform journalism and authorship of news and features to nonfiction and branded content that will future-proof your career. You’ll develop industry-standard expertise in digital and multiplatform news and features production, and you'll study evolving models of journalism including data analysis, crowdsourcing, and mobile journalism.

Entrants to the programme should possess the following minimum qualifications: a second-class honours degree, or equivalent, in any subject; or an appropriate professional background and experience in the media. This should be evidenced by an appropriate CV which outlines your professional experience to date from either working directly in journalism and media or a related function. Applicants should also demonstrate a commitment to work in the media industries. This attribute is usually evidenced through the application and personal statement. But also through work experience or voluntary work in the media or fulfilling a journalism-related function in a non-media organisation, or at interview. Two references, these may be, for example, two academic references, or one academic reference and one from an employer. All applicants who meet the entry criteria are interviewed as an entry requirement.
