Course content

Truth-seekers and storytellers, apply here. If you want to make a difference in the world, hold power to account, and find out what’s really going on, this course is for you.

Our dynamic MA Broadcast and Digital Journalism UK degree is for those who are fascinated by the world around them. If you’re a regular consumer of news and you have excellent communication skills, this vibrant course is the perfect choice.

From the very first week of your studies, you’ll be out in the city reporting, speaking to people and hearing their stories. You’ll learn the practice of ethical journalism, and complete practical projects; creating your own podcast and exploring how to find stories through data and investigative journalism – preparing you for the modern newsroom. You’ll practice radio and TV reporting by recording and editing your own interviews and turning these into broadcast news stories.

You’ll also study UK media law and regulation - as required by UK employers - and you’ll visit the courts and local councils and produce news stories based on what you’ve seen. Some of your modules will be taught on campus, but much of your teaching will take place at Broadcast House in the centre of Norwich. There you’ll find a radio studio, a TV studio, and a podcast studio and a newsroom with Adobe Audition, Premier Pro and a modern TV gallery.

Whether you’re considering pursuing a career in general news journalism, or you’ve developed interest or specialism from your first degree, this course will help kick-start a rewarding career in journalism.
