Key Summary

About: The MA in Journalism offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip students with essential skills in modern journalism. It covers various aspects of reporting, editing, and multimedia storytelling. The program emphasizes real-world experience and critical-thinking abilities, preparing graduates to pursue careers in a dynamic industry.

Career Outcomes: Graduates can explore diverse opportunities in journalism such as working as reporters, editors, or multimedia producers. Other paths may include roles in public relations, content creation, and digital media management. The skills gained also lend themselves to positions in broadcasting and corporate communications.

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.

We also cover the increasingly important areas of social media skills, verification techniques, data journalism and analytics. Shorthand is embedded in the course and you will sit your NCTJ diploma alongside your Masters.

Awareness of professional roles, law, public affairs and the regulatory responsibilities of journalists is taught, along with a critical understanding of the political and commercial structures within which the media operate. All the skills you learn come together for your Journalism Project, when you can do more in-depth research on a topic of your choice to produce a multi-media project, a short video documentary or a podcast.
