MA Journalism (International)
This MA course is for students from anywhere in the world who want to pursue a career in journalism and combine the acquisition and development of practical skills with a theoretical grounding.
Who will be my colleagues on the course?
A mix of new graduates, often with a media-related degree or work experience, and people who have already worked in journalism, but want to enhance their skills. Its an amazingly diverse course. Every year we welcome students from every continent; from Australia via Russia to Zimbabwe, with many countries in between. Most students are in their twenties, but we usually have quite a wide range of ages as well as experience.
Whats the course like?
The course takes a global perspective; the richness and diversity of student intake means we can learn from each other about journalism in other parts of the world. Theres a strong emphasis on the practical aspects of journalism learning by doing and you will emerge from the course multi-skilled. Our media facilities are excellent, equipped with up-to-date, professional standard studio facilities, the latest software used in video and audio editing, electronic news production, online journalism and page creation. Assessment in the practice-based modules is based on journalistic assignments, and throughout the course you are encouraged to work and think independently.
