From the BBC’s ‘Breaking News’ stories shared on social media to Al Jazeera's podcasts published on their website, foreign correspondence professionals are taking advantage of digital technology to reach diverse audiences. On this course, through either full-time or part-time study, you’ll learn how to think and act like an international journalist. Applicants from different walks of life join our course: you don’t have to be a journalism or media course graduate. Just show your engagement with news, experience in journalism or passion for reporting and we will be delighted to offer you a place once you have met all other criteria such as English language proficiency as set for your course. Once you have graduated and gone into the open world of the highly competitive media environment, the skills and practical knowledge gained in the course of the study can not only open doors to jobs in journalisms, but be an eye-opener to new opportunities. Our graduates have not only upscaled their careers but sometimes ended up in jobs they never dreamed of. One of our graduates is a TV anchor on a national TV channel in Indonesia, while another runs a high-profile news website on the polar regions and Arctic marine life while travelling to the North Pole and on Antarctic expeditions. It seems that the possibilities in the realm of the media can be endless in an international context – something increasingly recognized by UK-based students who are joining our course in ever-increasing numbers. One of the job clinchers generate by our course will be your portfolio of journalistic work to showcase your skills and abilities in front of an interviewer or prospective employer. The skills developed by studying print, broadcast or online journalism can lead to careers in reporting or management roles, public relations, researchers, media analysts and advisers, all either working in this country or abroad. Journalists could work as UK-based foreign correspondents travelling abroad or full-time in overseas postings.
