Course summary

Sound is the most dynamic part of the media industry right now and this long-standing MA in Audio, Radio and Podcasting will give you the theoretical knowledge and practical experience to navigate it and excel in it. We value what you have already achieved. Creativity in the audio medium is a uniquely personal experience and your existing knowledge and skills mean you'll be able to add diversity to the area of the industry you intend to join.

Why study MA Audio, Radio and Podcasting

Audio is a medium that has the potential to be transformative, to further the human experience. It’s a medium that creates a sense of intimacy, while continually generating questions. This is a degree that will empower you to create something permanent, something with a life beyond your own, something significant.

How you'll do this

  • The degree blends theory and practice. You'll spend the majority of your time actually producing content. You'll study contemporary radio and the audio revolution of podcasting. We look at the history of the audio medium; we think it is vital to understand how the industry has got to where it is now, and it is a fascinating story!
  • You'll work in professional-standard digital studios and post-production suites with a dedicated newsroom. An optional bonus: Goldsmiths also has its own student radio station broadcasting online.
  • Journalism skills are vital to news and documentary production and this is one area where you'll spend a lot of time gathering original stories and crafting news programmes. Online multimedia publishing and social media production form part of the skills mix.
  • Our media law module is one of the most intensive in the UK. You'll learn how to report in a legal and safe manner, including ethical treatment of topics and contributors. Law courts are a constant source of fascinating news stories and we include reporting visits to some of London's biggest courtrooms.

    • Careers

    Our graduates go on to work as broadcast journalists, creative programme makers, and foreign correspondents – and MA students are consistently winning significant awards for their work. For example in 2012, MA Radio students had considerable success in the Charles Parker student radio feature awards and the Broadcast Journalism Training Council (BJTC) Awards for Best Radio News Feature and Best Online News Website.

    In 2013 MA Radio students took Gold and Silver in the Charles Parker awards, and in the 2015 BJTC awards all the awards for Best Radio Feature and Best Radio Documentary went to Goldsmiths radio students. Our MA Radio alumni are also winning awards in the UK and abroad for their professional work too.
