The MA Multimedia Broadcast Journalism course at University College Falmouth has an international reputation, built up over 20 years, for providing many of the key people in the broadcasting world. It's a very practical course that operates from our multimillion pound state-of-the-art studios in Cornwall.
All this happens against the backdrop of breathtaking coastal scenery, with year-round surfing and glorious beaches on the doorstep.
You can either apply for the MA in Multimedia Broadcast Journalism or elect to specialise by registering for the MA in Investigative Multimedia Broadcast Journalism, Science Multimedia Broadcast Journalism or Sports Multimedia Broadcast Journalism.
The course delivers the multimedia skills and expertise required for working in radio, television, online and cross-platform newsrooms. It's aimed at aspiring journalists who want to work in local, regional or national news.
You get hands-on-experience of producing and presenting TV and radio programmes in real time.

You also get a thorough grounding in media law, media ethics and regulation, and UK politics.
