Journalism and Media Studies

Full-Time Programme

This MA offers you an exciting opportunity to address questions of central importance and urgency in contemporary globalised society and equips you with the critical and methodological skills to research a wide range of media. It includes a substantial training component to develop your journalistic skills in a multimedia context.

You will learn how to write for print, broadcast and the web, creating and adapting news stories across platforms, and in relation to local, national, international and global contexts. You will be taught in small groups by research-active faculty, expert production tutors and experienced professional journalists. The practical journalism elements are taught at training rooms based at Brighton's daily newspaper, The Argus. The structure of the programme allows for flexibility in the choice of courses across theory and practice.
