Are you determined, articulate and fascinated by news and current affairs? Is your ambition to work as a reporter or producer in radio and television news, or maybe to launch a ground-breaking podcast?
This course will teach you vital broadcasting and digital media skills using industry-standard software and equipment, then provide you with the opportunity to go out into the city to put your skills to the test.
We invest heavily in audio and video facilities, so you'll be immersed in TV, radio, podcasts and online techniques from day one. Nurture your skills using our TV news studio and gallery, radio studios and production booths, all laden with the same industry-standard equipment and software used by the professionals.
You'll be taught by current and former broadcast journalists, editors and media professionals, who will show you how to find and research news stories, conduct interviews, record and edit the material for broadcast as well as for web and social media.
Our experts in media law, regulation and public affairs will make sure your journalism is responsible and ethical as well as hard-hitting.
On newsdays, you'll work against the clock as part of a team that goes out into the city to find the news, shoot footage and create bulletins to meet tight deadlines back at the newsroom.
It's demanding work, but that's how our students finish the degree newsroom-ready, as complete broadcast journalists: many of our alumni secure jobs in a newsroom within the first six months after graduating, whilst others win awards for their work before they’ve even graduated.
