Course overview
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 Journalists (NCTJ) and the Broadcast 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, and a whole network of local, regional and national newspapers and radio stations.
About this course
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.
Through a developmental sequence of modules, you will strengthen your skills of critically reflective practice and practical enquiry. You’ll receive specialist training in thinking further and deeper about the complexity and challenges of education, as well as its possibilities. Throughout the MA, we’ll encourage you to reflect on your own priorities and interests, enabling you to shape and influence good practice in your workplace.
The course brings together educational professionals from a wide variety of contexts: early years, primary education, secondary education, special education, further and higher education. Students range from early career teachers to senior leaders and managers to those who support learning, and this diverse mix ensures sessions encompass multiple perspectives, broadening perception out from the practice of each singular workplace.
Applicants need a good honours degree in a relevant subject (usually 2:2 or above) or relevant industry experience.
