Course summary

The Multimedia Journalism MA (Print/Online) is a highly practical, well-rounded course that produces multi-skilled journalists. On this course you’ll gain a broad perspective of a range of multimedia specialisms, and master skills such as news gathering, writing for a range of online media formats, and social media management – underpinned with a thorough understanding of media law, ethics and regulation. Study for your Postgraduate Diploma begins in September and will finish around Easter. If you wish to continue to study for the full MA level, which continues until August, you can make the decision to top up. The full MA has been accredited by the Broadcast Journalism Training Council (BJTC). Our students regularly win BJTC awards, and the MA course has been awarded the BJTC award for excellence in teaching. The Multimedia Journalism (Print & Online) Postgraduate Diploma covers contemporary digital skills that will put you in high demand in the ever-changing world of content creation and distribution. Whether you want to go into current affairs, investigative journalism, or arts and culture, you will discover how to develop unique angles and gather your own material. You’ll take part in mock news days and work on live assignments critiqued by industry professionals. In terms of location, you will have the best of both worlds: based at our impressive media hub in Harrow, you will also spend time at our central London campuses and cover stories in the heart of the capital. Helping you to land your first job in journalism is the key aim of the course, and we will do everything we can to boost your employability. You will be taught by lecturers with experience in organisations like the BBC, Sky News and The Guardian, and get the chance to showcase your work on our multi-award-winning station Smoke Radio.
