Overview

The MA in Broadcast Journalism is an intensive one year course covering radio, television, mobile and digital journalism. We aim to prepare you for a career in a modern broadcast newsroom. MA Broadcast Journalism is ideally suited for those who have decided to pursue a career in radio or television news and current affairs. Our aim is to help you to get your first job in a highly competitive industry. We use digital TV and radio studios in our new Two Central Square home to teach you how to gather, prepare, produce and broadcast your content. We also organise a three-week industry placement for you to put into practice the skills we teach. We'll encourage you to originate and distribute your stories through the latest social channels. Are you comfortable using social media in a professional way? You will be by the time you leave us. You’ll gain a broad set of digital production skills as your future employer will expect you to be multi-skilled, familiar with the latest technology and able to work independently. We are looking for people who can demonstrate a keen interest in news. We expect you to be engaged with what’s happening in the world. If you regularly watch and listen to TV and radio news programmes, that’s a good starting point. We also look for people who already have some evidence of their commitment to a career in journalism. This could be acquired through student journalism or work placements in a newsroom. We don’t mind what subject you have studied at undergraduate level. You’ll leave us with an MA that is widely recognised as being at the forefront of postgraduate training for a broadcasting career in digital multi-media newsrooms. Your time with us will be hard work, but hopefully it will be rewarding, and the beginning of an exciting career.

Course structure

This is a year-long course. Broadcast journalism skills are acquired through a series of lectures, demonstrations, practical exercises and feedback sessions of increasing complexity and realism - from 'paper exercises' in the early days to complex radio and television productions that report on real events in real time. These sessions are supplemented by seminars, playbacks, group discussions and industry guests. Basic writing, reporting and technical skills are taught in the first semester against a background of group listening and viewing to good current professional practice.

Learning and assessment

You will be taught through a variety of practical workshops, studio time and productions days which replicate an industry environment as well as lecture series to support the more academic elements of the course. You will be assessed through a wide range of formative and summative assessments throughout the course. These range from practical class room activities to academic essays and examinations.

Career prospects

Our graduates typically leave us to work as broadcast journalists in local radio or regional TV newsrooms. Recent graduates are now working for organisations like BBC and ITV News, SKY, CNN, Reuters, Bloomberg and Al Jazeera English. Over the years we have helped hundreds of people to start their careers in broadcast journalism. Many are now working at the top of the profession. You will undertake a 15 day industry placement during the Easter break. Placements are co-ordinated by the course tutors and take into account your geographical preferences. Placements may be in radio or TV newsrooms, or both.
