Study Details: MA: 1 year full-time
At UCLan we’ve been teaching postgraduate journalism for more than thirty years. We are proud of our history – and we are still leading the way with our innovative MA Broadcast Journalism programme. The course has a reputation for the quality of its students and their success in obtaining employment in the industry.
The programme is accredited by the Broadcast Journalism Training Council and we’re committed to producing broadcast journalists with the technical and practical journalism skills to work successfully in a modern digitalised newsroom. The emphasis is on ‘learning by doing’. You will learn in a newsroom environment, producing interviews, stories, reports and packages for radio, television and digital platforms. You will experience live location reporting, filming, editing and also learn the latest digital and social media skills from experts based in our Media Innovation Studio. You will also gain a thorough understanding of media law and public administration.
You will normally be expected to have an upper second or first class honours degree from a British higher education institution, or an equivalent overseas qualification. The degree may be in any subject, although complementary subjects, such as English, Politics or a foreign language are especially useful.
