MA Broadcast and Digital Journalism

Truth-seekers and storytellers, apply here If you want to make a difference, hold power to account, and prepare for a career in the digital world, our MA Broadcast and Digital Journalism course is for you. You don’t need any prior study of journalism or media, just a fierce curiosity and a determination to learn. In this busy, intensive year, we’ll teach you the transferrable skills you’ll need to start a career in news, social media or communications. Our lecturers have decades of experience as journalism professionals, working for major broadcasters such as the BBC, and they’ll use that experience to get you industry ready. From the very first week, you’ll be out in the city reporting, speaking to people and hearing their stories. You’ll complete practical projects; creating your own podcast and exploring how to find stories through data and investigative journalism – preparing you for the modern newsroom. You’ll practice radio and TV reporting by recording and editing your own interviews and turning these into broadcast news stories. You’ll also study UK media law and regulation - as required by British employers - and you’ll visit the courts and local councils and produce news stories based on what you’ve seen.
