Course content

Train to become a journalist with our wide-ranging Newspaper Journalism MA programme. You will develop practical skills to help you stand out and develop your career in a competitive field. You will build a combination of vital professional skills valued by employers. These include interviewing, reporting, research, video, social media, SEO, writing news and features, editing and production, for online and print.

Practical work is informed by key theory, particularly ethics and media law. Specialist modules enable you to focus on an area such as investigative journalism, sport, politics or arts and culture, plus podcasting or journalism innovation.

We support you in finding optional work placements to undertake, which students often find valuable in building a portfolio, experience and contacts. Tutors offer individual CV advice, with input on job applications and interviews.
