In recent years, we’ve had an impressive line-up of seminars, lectures and workshops from organisations including Save the Children, FCDO and WaterAid. You’ll also have the chance to attend professional skills courses such as Participatory Photography and Mobile Filmmaking and get involved with UEA societies such as UEATV, Concrete Magazine and Live Wire.

This core content is taught by specialist staff with expertise in media and development across a range of thematic areas including refugees and communication, humanitarian journalism, charity campaigns and more.

Past graduates have gone on to work in a range of exciting fields including humanitarian communication, NGO communications, development journalism, media development, charity marketing and communications, journalism, and academia.
