This course prepares you for a first job in magazine journalism. Course graduates are found everywhere from consumer glossies and newspaper supplements to specialist magazines.
The MA is highly regarded by industry professionals, and is accredited by the Periodicals Training Council.
The magazine industry has never been more exciting and challenging. This course prepares you for anything you might encounter - whether it's writing a feature for a glossy men's magazine, podcasting an interview, or researching and crafting a story for the newsdesk of a business-to-business publication.
You'll learn the essential skills of reporting, feature writing, subbing, interviewing, researching, and design and layout.
You'll produce print and online magazines, and build an impressive portfolio of features which you will be encouraged to freelance.
Teaching and Assessment All MA Journalism courses at City are practical, hands-on courses designed for people that want to become journalists. As a result, much of your coursework will be journalistic assignments that you produce to deadline, as you would in a real news organisation.
Some courses are taught in lecture theatres, such as Journalism and Society 1 and Media Law, but most are small-group workshops that allow you to develop your journalistic skills and knowledge with the support of our expert academics.
