This is a practice-based course with a strong academic background. It is focused on teaching multimedia and online techniques alongside traditional journalistic skills such as research, reporting and writing. You will be taught by professional journalists and internationally renowned academics and, as well as enabling you to become a better journalist, the course will also equip you with transferable skills that will help you whatever media career path you choose. Our students have a very high success rate in gaining employment in the media industries, and recent graduates have gone on to network radio, national newspapers and magazines, respected websites, top PR agencies and major television companies. The course has creativity, flexibility, innovation and entrepreneurship at its core. It focuses on online and cross-media skills throughout, since they are now central to everything modern journalists do, not just an add-on or afterthought. There are three key strands to the course: Journalism practice, which focuses on key journalistic skills, production techniques, and a final project module including running a live online site. Journalism in context, which helps students to understand the social, political, economic, legal, regulatory and ethical contexts within which journalists operate. Media and communications research, which develops students’ understanding of the social and cultural uses of mediated communication. The Journalism BA has a flexible structure which, while it focuses on core journalistic and critical and analytic skills, also allows students to choose specialist options and take control of their studies. Learning takes place through a combination of face-to-face teaching and independent study, including lectures and seminars, practical workshops, group and individual projects, and presentations. The majority of assessment is of coursework, including journalistic news stories and features, video and audio packages, multimedia
