Master of Arts - Broadcast Journalism

The MA in Broadcast Journalism is an intensive year-long course that covers various aspects of radio, television, social, and digital journalism. The course provides students with hands-on experience through purpose-built TV and radio studios, enabling them to learn how to gather, prepare, publish, and broadcast their content. The program does not require applicants to be ready-made journalists, but they are expected to demonstrate a strong interest in news and showcase their commitment to a career in journalism through prior work experience or placements, whether paid or unpaid.

Prospective students are encouraged to stay engaged with current events and regularly watch and listen to TV and radio news programs. The program promises to be challenging but rewarding, serving as a stepping stone towards an exciting career in the UK media. Recognizing that employers seek multi-skilled individuals who are familiar with the latest technology and capable of working independently, the program aims to equip students with a wide range of digital production skills to support their future ambitions. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to apply these skills during a three-week industry placement.
