The practical component of the programme focuses first on the basic journalistic skills common to the different media, and moves on to explore comparative skills and production values as well as production skills for print and web (and a brief introduction to television). You are also encouraged to do work experience. The wider theoretical component introduces critical and theoretical perspectives on media and culture, encouraging you to ground these within your own practical work. Although there are short practical introductory courses in internet and television production, for the final examination you produce a portfolio of print journalism work. The programme is accredited by the Periodical Training Council.
All your tutors will be journalists with many years experience between them. There are also workshops run by visiting lecturers from: The Times, Guardian, Marie Claire, Community Care, the BBC, Illumina Digital, and many more.
