In this course taught at students will create multimedia news content for print, digital, and broadcast platforms. We combine the best of the past with an eye on the future, training students who want to do real journalism. Our purpose-built facilities include computer suites, TV and radio studios, and a dedicated newsroom.
There will be opportunities to do placements and students are expected to do at least three weeks' work experience across their degree, giving them the chance to encounter journalism in a variety of environments. We have links that can help them seek work in a practical environment at the BBC, Skysports, and with a variety of local and national media companies. Our students have completed placements with The Independent, The One Show, local radio, and newspapers.
